Which of the choices is CLOSEST in meaning to the word "PREPOSTEROUS" ?
Answer: B
The word closest to PREPOSTEROUS is ludicrous.
Preposterous means utterly absurd or contrary to reason (from Latin praeposterus, 'before-behind', that is, back to front). Ludicrous, so absurd as to be laughable, carries the same sense.
Sensible, practical and rational are all near opposites: they describe something reasonable, which is exactly what a preposterous idea is not.
