Reading of poetry is not congenial to his taste.

suited
beneficial
helpful
undesirable

The correct answer is D. undesirable.

The word “congenial” means “agreeable or pleasant.” In this context, it means that reading poetry is not something that this person enjoys or finds pleasurable. The other options are all words that describe something that is positive or beneficial.

  • A. suited: appropriate or fitting
  • B. beneficial: providing benefits or advantages
  • C. helpful: providing assistance or support

It is possible that this person does not find poetry to be beneficial or helpful, but it is more likely that they simply do not enjoy it.
