Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: Deliberate
Explanation: 'Contemplate' means to think about something carefully and at length. 'Deliberate' also means to think about or consider something carefully (or to act with careful consideration), so it is the closest match in meaning.
Astound — means to greatly surprise or shock; not a synonym of contemplate.
Disregard — means to ignore; this is essentially the opposite of contemplating.
Ardous — likely a misspelling of 'arduous', which means difficult or strenuous and is unrelated to thinking carefully.
