Correct Answer: Outrageous


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

Preposterous refers to something utterly absurd, ridiculous, or completely unreasonable. Similarly, outrageous denotes something shocking, extreme, or beyond what is considered acceptable or normal. Both of the words convey a sense of something being highly unreasonable or beyond belief.

The meanings of other options are as follows:

  • Flashy refers to something showy or extravagant, often attracting attention because it is colourful, bright, or attention-grabbing.
  • Dreamy describes something characterised by a dream-like quality, often suggesting a sense of being lost in thought.
  • Imaginative relates to having a creative and inventive mind—the ability to produce or think of new ideas, concepts, or mental images.
