According to what you have read in the report, which of the following adjectives could be used to describe Lee Wang?

There may be more than one correct answer!

Humorless

This is incorrect. "Humorless" means "lacking a sense of humor", however Brian writes that Lee Wang "loves to joke around". To "joke around" is to "be funny" or to "try to be funny".

Violent

This is an appropriate adjective to describe Lee Wang. Brian writes that "Lee (Wang) took the reins using aggressive tactics", this means that Lee Wang took control of his father's business in a violent way. Brian also suggests that Lee Wang might have violently attacked his elder brother who "was found hospitalized in Beijing with both legs broken and his ear missing."

Harmless

This is probably not an appropriate adjective. "Harmless" means "mild", "innocent" and "benign". There is nothing in the report that suggests that Wang is "harmless". On the contrary, he is described as "violent" and "aggressive".

Superstitious

This is an appropriate adjective to describe Lee Wang. A "superstitious" person has beliefs that aren't necessarily governed by reason and logic. For example: he is so superstitious, he believes that black cats bring bad luck and 13 is an unlucky number. The report mentions that "Wang attributes his success to his astrological sign", it can therefore be assumed that Lee Wang is a "superstitious" person.

Cautious

This is incorrect. "Cautious" means "tentative" and "careful". This goes against what is said about Lee Wang, who is said to be "a born gambler, (and) is at his best when the stakes are high". This means that he likes gambling and taking risks.
