Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word.
Judicious

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. sensible.

The most appropriate synonym for "judicious" is "sensible."

The term "judicious" refers to showing good judgment or wisdom, and "sensible" similarly means having or showing good sense and practical judgment.

In contrast, "imprudent" and "careless" imply a lack of wisdom or caution, which is opposite to the meaning of "judicious," while "short-sighted" suggests a lack of foresight, which also does not align with the concept of being judicious.
