In each of the questions below, a sentence is given with two portions marked in bold. Choose the best replacement (if needed) for the highlighted portion to make the sentence meaningfully and grammatically correct.   But if the mission is uneven, the biggest danger is that we might let down our guard, get represented. Correct Answer Uneventful, complacent

Uneven means ''not level or smooth.'' And represented means ''be entitled or appointed to act or speak for (someone), especially in an official capacity.'' But these words don't really make much sense when used in this sentence. The sentence looks odd.

The correct words are ''uneventful and complacent.' Uneventful means ''not marked by interesting or exciting events.'' And complacent means ''showing smug or uncritical satisfaction with oneself or one's achievements.'' What this means is that, an uneventful task might make people complacent. 

So option 1 is correct.   

Unethical: not morally correct

unscrupulous: having or showing no moral principles; not honest or fair

Ethical: relating to moral principles or the branch of knowledge dealing with these.

feasible: possible and practical to do easily or conveniently.
