Fill in the blanks. The members of the Esquire Club refused to admit Barney to the club due to his ______ manner of picking his nose and slurping during dinner.

The sentence describes Barney’s bad table manners—picking his nose and slurping. These are behaviors typically considered socially inappropriate or lacking refinement, especially in a formal setting like a club. 1.      Recovering – Not an adjective that describes a manner or behavior. Irrelevant. 2.      Dissimilar – Means "not alike"; doesn’t fit contextually to describe a person's behavior. 3.      Uncivilized – Perfect match. It means lacking manners or social graces, which fits Barney’s poor etiquette during dinner. 4.      Ripped – Informal slang (e.g., for being intoxicated or muscular), not appropriate here. 5.      Ratified – Means "officially approved"; makes no grammatical or contextual sense here.
