Question 1 Report

From the list of words lettered A to D, choose the one that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentence.

 

Older people are expected to be ________ where youths are green.

Answer Details
The appropriate word to fill the gap and also serve as the opposite in meaning to the underlined word is "inexperienced". The sentence contrasts the expectations for older people and youths, suggesting that they have different levels of experience. The underlined word implies that older people are expected to have more experience than younger people. Therefore, the opposite of "experienced" would be a word indicating a lack of experience, such as "inexperienced". The other options, "cautious", "equipped", and "considerate", do not serve as the opposite of "experienced" and do not fit the context of the sentence.
