Question 5 of 5
Select the meaning of the word 'untoward' in the sentence: 'His untoward actions during the admission process created a problem for the nurse.'
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Unseemly.' In this context, 'untoward' refers to actions that are improper or inappropriate. Choice A, 'Violent,' does not accurately reflect the meaning of 'untoward' in the context of the sentence. Choice B, 'Casual,' is unrelated to the negative connotation of 'untoward.' Choice D, 'Capricious,' suggests unpredictability rather than the negative behavior implied by 'untoward.' Therefore, 'Unseemly' is the most appropriate meaning in this context.
