Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: unexciting
"Mundane" in this sentence describes matters that are ordinary, routine, or dull.
Unexciting — a direct match: both mean dull or lacking excitement.
Foolish — means lacking good sense; not about being ordinary or dull.
Legal — relates to law; unrelated to the sense of ordinariness.
Mysterious — means strange or hard to understand, which is the opposite of ordinary.
Therefore, "unexciting" is the best choice because it most closely matches the meaning of "mundane" here.
