Choose the appropriate word to fill in the blank:-

The _____ weather conditions put a spanner in the onward hike of the mountaineering team.

inclement

The correct answer is Option (3) → inclement

Inclement weather means harsh, stormy, or severe weather, which is the only option that makes sense because such weather would disrupt the mountaineering team’s hike.

Pleasant means enjoyable or nice, which would not stop a hike.

Feeble means weak, usually used for people or things, not weather.

Favourable means helpful or supportive, which would make the hike easier.
