Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
Getting the correct answer to this question depends almost entirely on your knowing the definitions of the five words you must choose from. Which of the choices describes a judgment made before all the facts are known? Such a judgment, by definitions, is not deliberate, and the sentence doesn’t tell us whether the judgment was harsh or lenient, sensible or dumb, fair or unfair. Premature means hasty or early. It fits the blank perfectly.
| Harsh: | unpleasantly sharp or rough; specif., a) grating to the ear; discordant b) too bright or vivid to the eye; glaring c) too strong to the taste; bitter d) not smooth to the touch; coarse |
