Opposite Meaning Word Identification 

The underlined word in the sentence is spurious, which means something that is false or not genuine.

Options:

• Option 1: FALSE - This is a close match, as "spurious" means false, so this option is a good opposite.
• Option 2: unethical - This is incorrect; "unethical" refers to a lack of ethics and doesn't directly relate to the opposite of "spurious."
• Option 3: genuine - This is correct; "genuine" is the opposite of "spurious," meaning something that is real or authentic.
• Option 4: impulsive - This is incorrect; "impulsive" refers to actions done without thinking, and doesn't relate to the opposite of "spurious."

Correct Answer:

The correct answer is Option 3: genuine.
