Correct Answer:

Utopian

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Utopian

  • Pragmatic (Adjective): Dealing with things sensibly and realistically in a way that is based on practical rather than theoretical considerations; focused on results.

  • Utopian (Adjective): Relating to or aiming for a perfect state where things are impractical; idealistic but often unachievable. This is the direct opposite of being realistic and practical.
