网考网解析：
Utilitarian is an adjective that is used to describe something that is "useful" and "practical." Conversely, the adjective quixotic means "idealistic" or "impractical." A general sentence that can be used to describe the analogy is: "Something that is appropriately described as ______ cannot be ______ ." To answer this question, determine which of the answer choices contains two words that are antonyms. Something that is malevolent would never be described as kind because the two words are opposite in meaning; therefore, answer choice C is correct. The other word pairs are synonyms. 查看试题解析出处>>
