Which word means 'unfavorable, threatening'?

• A. Ominous
• B. Deliberate
• C. Quaint
• D. Vigorously

Answer: (A)

You’re picking a word that expresses a mood of danger or impending trouble. Ominous means unfavorably threatening or giving the sense that something bad could happen. You can sense it in an ominous silence or an ominous forecast—the atmosphere itself feels like a warning. Deliberate means intentional or done after careful thought, not about threat. Quaint describes something charmingly old-fashioned, which isn’t about danger. Vigorously means with energy or force, which also doesn’t convey a warning or bad omen.
