The event was postponed due to ______ weather.

The event was postponed due to ______ weather.

• A. Favorable
• B. Mild
• C. Inclement
• D. Hazardous

Answer: (C)

Inclement weather describes severe or unpleasant conditions that disrupt plans. It’s the standard phrase used when outdoor events are delayed or canceled because weather is not suitable for proceeding. So postponing a event because of inclement weather communicates that conditions are harsh enough to hamper the schedule. Favorable or mild describe good or gentle weather and wouldn’t lead to postponement, while hazardous could fit in some contexts but is less the usual choice for announcing a delay; inclement weather is the conventional way to express the disruption caused by bad weather in a general, all-encompassing sense.
