Correct Answer: pessimistic


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

pessimistic person is a person who always expects that the worst will happen or looks at the negative aspects of things. This is the correct word choice for this sentence, which helps in conveying the intended meaning that the neighbour is the type of person who believes the worst will happen to him.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Reasonable means fair and sensible.
  • Forward-looking is a person who plans for the future.
  • An optimistic person is a person who expects good outcomes in his life.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: My neighbour is very pessimistic for he believes that nothing good will happen to him.
