Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Correct answer: averse
Meaning and why it fits:
"Averse" is an adjective meaning opposed or disinclined.
The phrase "not averse to" means "not opposed to" or "willing to consider", which matches the intended meaning of the sentence.
Why the other words are incorrect:
"Aversion" is a noun meaning a strong dislike; the blank needs an adjective. A correct sentence with this word would be: "We do not have an aversion to the idea of moving to Mumbai."
"Advise" is a verb (to give counsel) and cannot fill an adjective slot in the sentence.
"Adverse" is an adjective meaning harmful or unfavorable; it does not convey being opposed or willing and is not the appropriate collocation here.
Example sentence: We are not averse to the idea of moving to Mumbai; we would happily consider it.
