  4. D. Distant
Show answer and solution

Answer: (C) Unavoidable

Inevitable describes something certain to happen that cannot be prevented, so 'unavoidable' is its synonym. 'Doubtful' suggests uncertainty, which is the reverse. 'Welcome' and 'distant' describe attitude and distance, not certainty. Sunrise is an everyday inevitable event. Think of the word in a sentence first, and then pick the option that could replace it without changing the meaning; watch out for the antonym placed among the options.
