Inept most nearly means

  1. clever

  2. skillful

  3. silly

  4. wise

The correct answer is: clever

"Given the choices of 'clever', 'skillful', 'silly', and 'wise', the word that is closest in meaning to 'inept' is 'clever'. The other options of 'skillful' and 'wise' imply a level of proficiency or ability, whereas 'inept' means lacking skill or being unskilled. 'Silly' is a synonym for 'foolish' or 'stupid', which are not quite the same as 'inept'. It's important to pay attention to context and connotation when determining the correct answer."
