Question

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank. Despite the _______________ weather, the festival was a huge success.

• A. inclement
• B. temperate
• C. balmy
• D. mild

Answer 1

Answer:

A. inclement

• The sentence uses the word "Despite," which indicates a contrast. • If the festival was a success, the weather must have been bad. • Inclement specifically refers to unpleasant (cold or wet) weather. • The other options (temperate, balmy, mild) all describe pleasant weather.
