Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Contradictory.

  • In the given question, we need to select the ANTONYM of the given word.
  • A word that has the exact opposite meaning of another word is its antonym.

Let's have a look at the meaning of the given word:-

  • LOGICAL means "seeming natural, reasonable or sensible".
  • For example:- She wasn't able to give me a logical explanation for her behaviour.

Let's have a look at the meaning of the given options:-

  1. Practical- concerned with actually doing something rather than with ideas or thought.
  2. Contradictory- being opposite to or not matching something else.
  3. Sensible- (used about people and their behaviour) able to make good judgements based on reason and experience; practical.
  4. Useful- having some practical use; helpful.

The chosen option expresses the opposite meaning of the given word hence, it will be the correct choice.
