Corrections Officer Entrance (CJBAT) Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What is the opposite of judicious?

Wise

Prudent

Imprudent

The term "judicious" refers to having, showing, or done with good judgment or sense. Therefore, the opposite of judicious would indicate a lack of good judgment or poor decision-making abilities. "Imprudent" fits this definition perfectly, as it describes actions that are not wise and lack foresight or caution, essentially implying a failure to make sound decisions.

On the other hand, "wise" and "prudent" both connote good judgment and sound decision-making, making them antonyms of "imprudent" and thus not fitting as opposites of "judicious." "Careful" can imply a level of caution similar to prudence but does not necessarily capture the overall lack of judgment that "imprudent" does. Therefore, "imprudent" is the most accurate opposite to "judicious".
