Question

Which sentence uses the

underlined vocabulary word
incorrectly?

A. Howard's room was so messy his
belongings were spread on his floor in a
(desultory) manner.

B. Cathy told Howard that never paying
the bills would be a (deleterious) idea,

C. Howard felt (judicious) as he got a call
from the phone company when he forgot
to pay his bill.

Answer 1

Answer: Choice C (Judicious)

Explanation: Judicious means to have, show, or do something with good judgment or sense. This doesn't make sense given the context that Howard forgot to pay his bill. Not paying his bill is something that is not done with good judgment. Therefore this definition would not be appropriate.

Hope this helps and makes sense.
