Question

Read the sentence.

The media criticized Governor Dunham’s callous behavior, noting that the politician regularly ignored the struggles of the people who had voted for her.

What is the definition of "callous” in this context?

immature

unenthusiastic
unsympathetic

Answer 1

"Callous" here means unsympathetic — emotionally hardened or indifferent to others' suffering. The other choices (immature, unenthusiastic) don't match the context of ignoring people's struggles.
