Answer Details
The option nearest in meaning to the underlined word "ignominious" is "a disgraceful". "Ignominious" means marked by or attended with ignominy, which is a feeling of shame or dishonor. In the context of the sentence, the mistake brought the show to an end that was disgraceful or marked by shame, indicating that it was not a good outcome. The other options, "a good", "a palatable", and "a satisfactory", do not convey the same level of shame or dishonor as "a disgraceful".
