Option 1: Sycophantic

Option 2: Fawning

Option 3: Grovelling

Option 4: Ungracious

Team Careers360 · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: Ungracious

Solution : The fourth option is correct.

The most appropriate antonym for tactful in this context is ungracious. The sentence suggests the need for being more considerate, careful, and diplomatic in approach, so the opposite would be being impolite, rude, or lacking in tact.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

Sycophantic: This refers to someone who overly flatters or praises others to gain an advantage.
Fawning: It describes someone who displays exaggerated flattery or affection, often to seek favour.
Grovelling: It indicates behaving in a subservient or overly obedient manner, often to an excessive degree.

Therefore, the correct answer is ungracious.
