Choose from the options A to D, the one that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word to fill the gap in each sentence
Solution:
Concept:The word “hasty” means quick and careless, so the missing word must mean the opposite: careful or planned.
Explanation:A person who makes hasty decisions does not plan carefully.
Such a person never makes moves that are well thought out.
The phrase “calculated moves” means actions that are carefully planned.
Therefore, “calculated” fits the context best.
Answer:Option A (calculated)
