Grievous is to commendable as negligent is to _____wroughthypocriticalcontroversialcontemplative

The question seems to be a type of analogy question often found on standardized tests. The structure of the question is "A is to B as C is to D". In this case, "Grievous is to commendable" means that the relationship between these two words is that they are opposites. Therefore, we are looking for a word that is the opposite of "negligent".

Looking at the options:

• "wrought" means made or created, which is not the opposite of negligent.
• "hypocritical" means saying one thing and doing another, which is not the opposite of negligent.
• "controversial" means causing disagreement or discussion, which is not the opposite of negligent.
• "contemplative" means expressing or involving prolonged thought, which could be considered the opposite of negligent, as someone who is contemplative is likely to be careful and attentive, not negligent.

So, the answer is "contemplative".
