The CEO's decision to downsize the workforce was considered myopic because it sacrificed long-term stability to accommodate short-term gains.
Select the most appropriate option that can replace the word "myopic" without changing the meaning of the sentence.
Answer: B
The word that can replace 'myopic' is shortsighted.
Myopic literally means near-sighted; used figuratively, as here, it means lacking foresight. The sentence confirms this sense: the decision gave up long-term stability for short-term gains, which is exactly what a shortsighted decision does.
Visionary means the opposite, showing foresight. Progressive (favouring reform) and innovative (introducing new ideas) are positive qualities that do not fit a decision criticised for sacrificing the long term.
