    A Recovering Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Dissimilar Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Uncivilized Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Ripped Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Ratified Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    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.
