Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: The word extempore refers to speaking or performing without prior preparation. It is spontaneous and improvised.

Step 1: Understand the meaning of extempore. \[ \text{Extempore} = \text{without preparation} \] For example: \[ \text{"She delivered an extempore speech."} \] This means the speech was given without advance planning.

Step 2: Determine the opposite meaning. The opposite of acting without preparation is being thoroughly prepared beforehand.

Step 3: Analyze the options.
• Well-prepared -- carefully planned and prepared.
• Careful -- attentive but not necessarily prepared.
• Extraordinary -- remarkable.
• Unprepared -- nearly the same meaning as extempore.

Step 4: Select the antonym.
Therefore, the antonym of extempore is well-prepared. \[ \boxed{\text{Well-prepared}} \]
