41) Legible most nearly means:

1. available
2. readable
3. moveable
4. malleable

Legible means readable. The word that sounds similar and means “available” is eligible, but available is not the correct answer because we are looking for the synonym to legible. You may have heard of someone keeping a “ledger” to write down notes. Since “legere” means to write then adding “ible”, which means able to, as a suffix makes the word translate to able to write and if a person is able to write correctly then their handwriting is legible, or something that is readable.
