SAT Vocab Builder

Answer: Choice (C) is correct.

The word incongruous means out of place or incompatible, not consistent or regular. Therefore, look for the answer choice that contains antonyms. In choice (A), prodigious means exceptional or extraordinary, which are synonyms, so eliminate that choice. In choice (B), indiscriminate and haphazard are adjectives that mean by chance. They are synonyms, so eliminate that choice. In choice (D), raucous is a synonym for boisterous or rowdy, so eliminate that choice. In choice (C), recondite means obscure or little known, not mainstream. This is the choice that contains antonyms, so this is the correct answer.
