What does 'lanky' imply about someone's physique?

  1. Short

  2. Thin and tall

  3. Muscular

  4. Stocky

The correct answer is: Thin and tall

The term "lanky" specifically describes someone who is tall and thin, often with long limbs. This combination of characteristics gives off an impression of being somewhat and may suggest a lack of bulk or muscularity. When someone is referred to as lanky, it typically highlights their height while emphasizing a slender build. Thus, the correct choice accurately conveys this meaning, distinguishing it from other body types such as being short, muscular, or stocky, which do not align with the definition of lanky.
