Question

What does the word impetuous mean in the following sentence?

While Tony was an impetuous race car driver and stunt man, his
cautious businessman with a steady job.
Select one:
O a. reckless
O b. cruel
O c. boring
O d. careful

Answer 1

a. reckless

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use context clues from the sentence to figure out what impetuous means. The sentence is saying that while he's an impetuous race car driver/stunt man, he is a cautious businessman with a steady job. So you can infer that how he acts as a race car driver is different than as a businessman, like opposites. Reckless is the opposite of cautious, so it's reckless!
