Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word: PROPITIOUS

ADoubtful

BHarmful

CFavorable

DUnlucky

Answer:

C. Favorable

Read Explanation:

Propitious is an adjective that means giving or indicating a good chance of success, being auspicious, or presenting favorable circumstances. Favorable (Correct): This is a direct synonym. If conditions are propitious, it means they are advantageous, promising, or highly likely to lead to a successful outcome. Doubtful: This means uncertain or unlikely, which is the opposite of the confident promise implied by propitious. Harmful: This means causing or likely to cause damage or injury, which runs completely counter to something being helpful or lucky. Unlucky: This serves as an antonym (opposite) to propitious. Example in a sentence: "The beautiful weather and steady winds provided a propitious (favorable) start to their sailing journey."
