Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is A. benign.
Benign means kind, generous, or forgiving. It is the opposite of cruel, harsh, or unforgiving.
The other options are:
- Infructuous: not producing fruit or results.
- Churlish: rude, ill-mannered, or surly.
- Wasteful: spending or using more than is necessary or useful.
In the context of the question, “It was really a gracious occasion for me,” the speaker is expressing gratitude for a kind or generous act. The other options do not convey this meaning.
