What he saw inspired an IMPLACABLE hatred in him.

Options:

restrictive

severe

amenable

injudicious

Correct Answer:

severe

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → severe

 

  • Restrictive: This means limiting or controlling. It does not convey the same meaning as "implacable."

  • Severe: This can mean strict, harsh, or intense. In this context, "implacable" refers to a hatred that is unyielding or unable to be appeased, which aligns with the idea of severity.

  • Amenable: This means open and responsive to suggestion; easily persuaded or controlled. It is the opposite of "implacable."

  • Injudicious: This means lacking good judgment or wisdom. It does not relate to the meaning of "implacable."
