Correct Answer: Solemn

Waggish means ‘humorous, playful or mischievous’ while solemn means ‘formal, dignified and composed’. The other words are near synonyms of waggish and are incorrect. ‘Jocular’ means ‘humorous’, ‘whimsical’ means ‘playfully quaint’ and ‘flippant’ means ‘not serious or respectful’.
