How to find the meaning of a given word:
- Whenever you are trying to find the contextual meaning of a word, read the sentence well.
- Try to understand the general meaning of the sentence.
- Draw conclusions- For example, the word ‘ignored’ suggests something more than being ‘unenthusiastic’ or ‘immature’. Also, the word ‘struggles’ shows that the people are in a bad condition. So, ‘unsympathetic’ is the appropriate word here, rather than ‘impolite’.
Therefore the correct answer is ‘unsympathetic’.
