Which adjective describes something harmful or unfriendly?

• A. Adverse
• B. Specifically
• C. Averse to
• D. Acquisition

Answer: (A)

Adverse is the adjective that conveys harm or unfavorability. It’s used for things that work against you or have a negative impact, like adverse weather, adverse effects, or adverse conditions. That sense of harmfulness or unfriendly impact is exactly what the question is asking for. The other options don’t fit as well: specifically describes precision or detail rather than harm; averse to describes a person’s dislike or opposition to something and is about attitude, not a thing being harmful; acquisition is a noun meaning the act of obtaining something.
