Choose the most appropriate synonym for the word: Opportune

The correct answer is Option (3) → Timely

• Opportune means happening at a suitable or convenient time.
  Example: This is an opportune moment to ask for a holiday, as the boss is in a good mood.
• Timely means done or happening at the right time. Both words describe the right moment, so timely is the synonym of opportune.
  Example: The timely rain saved the crops.

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?

Option 1: Destructive — Incorrect. Destructive means causing great damage; it says nothing about time.
Example: The destructive cyclone flattened many houses.

Option 2: Thoughtful — Incorrect. Thoughtful means caring about others or thinking deeply; it describes a person, not a suitable moment.
Example: It was thoughtful of you to call my mother.

Option 4: Charitable — Incorrect. Charitable means giving help or money to those in need, or kind in judging others.
Example: She runs a charitable clinic for the poor.
