Correct Answer: Modest


Solution : The first option is the correct answer.

In the context of the sentence, the word "pompous" suggests arrogance or excessive self-importance. "Modest" is the most suitable antonym because it denotes humility and a lack of arrogance, aligning with the idea that the person is not as self-important as others perceive.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Lofty means elevated in character, but it can also mean arrogant or condescending.
  • Grandiose means impressive and imposing.
  • Haughty means arrogantly superior, disdainful, or proud.

Therefore, the correct answer is modest.
