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.
