"Arrogant" refers to having an exaggerated sense of self-importance, so "humble," meaning modest or unassuming, is the opposite. "Proud" can be positive, but it doesn’t necessarily imply the opposite of arrogance.
"Pragmatic" refers to dealing with things in a sensible and practical way, rather than based on theories or ideals. Therefore, "practical" is the correct answer. "Theoretical" and "idealistic" focus on abstract ideas, and "emotional" doesn’t align with the definition of pragmatic.
"Verbose" refers to using more words than necessary, so the opposite would be "brief," meaning short and concise. "Long-winded" is another term for verbose, so it would be incorrect as the opposite.
"Benevolent" means showing kindness or goodwill, so the word "kind" is the closest in meaning. "Malevolent" means showing ill will or hatred, which is the opposite of "benevolent."
"Gracious" refers to being kind, courteous, and pleasant, which would make someone a favorite among colleagues. "Hostile" and "disinterested" convey negative attitudes, while "generous" refers to giving, not necessarily having a likable attitude.
