Question 1 Report

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

My uncle is a prosperous businessman, my aunt, unfortunately, is quite ________

Answer Details
The word "prosperous" in the sentence implies that the speaker's uncle is doing well financially, so we are looking for a word that means the opposite. Out of the options provided, "unsuccessful" is the most suitable choice as it means not achieving success or prosperity. The other options do not necessarily convey the opposite meaning of "prosperous." For instance, "unqualified" means lacking the necessary qualifications, "unskillful" means lacking skill or expertise, and "domestic" means relating to the running of a home or household. These words do not necessarily relate to financial success or prosperity.
