Hint:

In sentence completion questions, identify the consequence described in the clause.
A negative consequence like a "walkout" always requires a word with a highly negative charge.
Eliminate neutral or positive adjectives to narrow down the correct choices instantly.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Read the sentence for context clues.
The Association President's remarks were so ______ that several committee members walked out - walking out signals a strong negative reaction.
Step 2: Eliminate options that do not fit.
Discreet (careful and tactful), interesting, and exemplary (worthy of imitation) would not cause members to walk out in protest.
Step 3: Confirm the answer.
Inflammatory means likely to provoke anger or strong reactions - exactly the kind of remark that would drive committee members to leave the room.
\[ \boxed{\text{inflammatory}} \]
