Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: Inappropriate
Explanation: "Appropriate" means suitable for a particular person, place, or occasion. "Inappropriate" means not suitable, so it is the correct antonym.
Misappropriate — to dishonestly or unfairly take or use something (especially money) that belongs to someone else; this is about wrongful taking, not being the opposite of "suitable".
Inappropriate — means not suitable; this is the correct opposite of "appropriate."
Disappropriate — a rare term meaning to deprive of individual ownership or to redistribute; it does not mean "not suitable."
Arrogate — to claim or take (a right or property) without justification; unrelated to the meaning of "suitable" or "not suitable."
Tip: Look for common negative prefixes such as "in-" which often indicate the opposite meaning (e.g., appropriate → inappropriate).
