Question

Given how many hoops students have to jump through just to walk across the stage in a cap-and-gown, it seems ludicrous to suggest yet another graduation requirement, but that is precisely what I am advocating.

What word is the best synonym for the word ludicrous in this sentence?

Answer 1

the best synonym for the word ludicrous in that sentence would be the word "bizarre"

Answer 2

In this passage, the word ludicrous is used as a word to describe the many graduation requirements that students have to fulfill. The implication in the text is that the idea will not be well-received. There are several words that we could use in this text instead of ludicrous, such as "bizarre," "outlandish" or "preposterous."
