NDA (II) 2021 General Ability Test · Question 40 of 149

Correct — B, appropriate. 'Opportune' means well-timed and suited to the occasion, so 'appropriate' — fitting and suitable — is the nearest in meaning.

• (a)honorary — 'Honorary' means held or given as an honour, usually without pay or duties; it is unrelated to good timing.
• (c)difficult — 'Difficult' means hard to do; an opportune moment is favourable, not hard.
• (d)unsuitable — 'Unsuitable' means not fitting — the direct opposite of an opportune, appropriate time.

This is a synonym item — pick the word nearest in meaning to the underlined word 'opportune' (well-timed, suitable); the closest match is 'appropriate'.
