Correct answer: C

Explanation:

Answer: inopportune — it is farthest in meaning from “felicitous.”

Why:

“Felicitous” means well-chosen, apt, appropriate, or well-timed.

  • Inopportune: means untimely or inappropriate; this is the antonym of “felicitous,” so it is the farthest in meaning.

  • Delightful: means pleasing or charming; similar in sense to “felicitous,” not opposite.

  • Boorish: means rude or ill-mannered; unrelated to being apt or well-timed.

  • Morbid: relates to disease, death, or gloom; not an antonym of “felicitous.”
