    Question

    Identify the most appropriate ANTONYM of the highlighted word in the following sentence.
    "Dipesh loves to answer his boss’s questions in tactful ways."

    A.

    Affordable

    B.

    Humble

    C.

    Ambiguous

    D.

    Undiplomatic

    Correct option is D


    Explanation of the Correct Answer:
    · "Tactful" means diplomatic, sensitive, or skillful in handling situations.
    · The correct antonym is "Undiplomatic," which means lacking tact, being blunt or insensitive.
    Example Sentences:
    · She gave a tactful reply to avoid offending her colleague.
    · His undiplomatic remarks created tension during the meeting.
    Other options:
    · (a) "Affordable" → Incorrect because it relates to cost, not behavior.
    · (b) "Humble" → Incorrect because humility and tactfulness are different traits.
    · (c) "Ambiguous" → Incorrect because ambiguity refers to unclear meaning, whereas tact relates to careful wording.
    Thus, the correct answer is (d) "Undiplomatic."
