The complete eradication of poverty is an unreal and visionary ideal.

Meditative
Fantastic
Chimerical
Contemplative

The correct answer is C. Chimerical.

A chimerical ideal is one that is unrealistic or unattainable. In this case, the speaker is saying that the complete eradication of poverty is an impossible goal.

The other options are not as accurate.

  • Meditative: This means involving or characterized by meditation. It does not make sense to describe the complete eradication of poverty as meditative.
  • Fantastic: This means very good or impressive. It does not make sense to describe the complete eradication of poverty as fantastic, because it is not something that is likely to happen.
  • Contemplative: This means involving or characterized by contemplation. It does not make sense to describe the complete eradication of poverty as contemplative, because it is not something that is likely to happen.
