{'underlined word': [0, 0, 0, 20], 'conversations': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'options': [1, 1, 0, 21], 'item': [1, 0, 1, 20], 'section': [3, 1, 0, 35], 'option': [2, 0, 0, 11], 'meaning': [1, 0, 0, 16]}

In this question, we are asked to find the option that is opposite in meaning to the underlined word "absurd". The word "absurd" means unreasonable or illogical.

Option 1: Farcical - Farcical means absurd or ridiculous, so it is not opposite in meaning to "absurd".

Option 2: Foolish - Foolish means lacking good sense or judgment, which is a synonym for "absurd" rather than an opposite in meaning.

Option 3: Preposterous - Preposterous means contrary to reason or common sense, which is similar to "absurd" and not opposite.

Option 4: Rational - Rational means based on or in accordance with reason or logic, which is opposite in meaning to "absurd", as it represents something that is logical.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4, "rational".
