      Solution

      In the sentence, "Despite his perspicacious observations, his advice was often ignored," the word "perspicacious" means highly perceptive, sharp, or having keen insight. Here are the options provided: 1. Astute – This means shrewd, perceptive, and having keen insight, making it the closest synonym for "perspicacious." (Correct) 2. Vacuous – This means lacking intelligence or thought, which is the opposite of perspicacious. (Incorrect) 3. Dubious – This means doubtful or uncertain, which does not match the meaning of perspicacious. (Incorrect) 4.
