Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
The word UNSEEMLY means "improper or indecent." We can easily rule out choices (C), (D), and (E), none of which are related to UNSEEMLY.
We’re left with a difficult choice between (A) and (B). Choice (A) is tempting because we often think of a shy person as modest, a trait that is somewhat contrary to indecent (our synonym for UNSEEMLY).
But what is the opposite of shy? It’s bold or outgoing, neither of which is a close antonym of UNSEEMLY. Apply the same technique to choice (B): the opposite of sacred is unholy or profane. Although profane is a much stronger word than UNSEEMLY, it is a better antonym than shy.
