What is the meaning of the word unacceptable as used in this excerpt from the Newsela article ""How the Ancient Egyptians Shaped the World's View of Life After Death"?

impractical
confusing
not allowable
unbelievable

Answer 1

Not allowable

Step-by-step explanation:

Sometimes, the meaning of a word can depend on the context it is used in. However, the word unacceptable has a rather simple meaning: not pleasing or welcome, not acceptable. This is why not allowable is the only possible option. The rest of the options are incorrect because unacceptable can't mean impractical, confusing, or unbelievable.
