Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the highlighted word.

It was an impetuous decision to buy a car when he didn’t have a job.

Options:

dense

arguable

tangible

sensible

Correct Answer:

sensible

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the highlighted word impetuous is sensible.

  • Impetuous means "acting or done without thought or consideration."
  • Sensible means "showing good judgment or common sense."

The other words do not have the same meaning as impetuous, so they are not its antonyms.

  • Dense means "slow to understand or learn."
  • Arguable means "open to or capable of being disputed or debated."
  • Tangible means "able to be touched or felt."
