The underlined word in the sentence is "incisive". To understand the meaning of the word, it is helpful to know its definition. "Incisive" means to have keen and penetrating intelligence or insight. It suggests being sharp or clear in thought.

Now, let`s analyze each of the given options to find the one that is opposite in meaning to "incisive":

Option 1: Vague - This option means unclear or unclearly expressed. It is the opposite of "incisive" since it lacks clarity and sharpness.

Option 2: Penetrating - This option means able to understand something deeply or thoroughly. It is similar in meaning to "incisive" and is not opposite.

Option 3: Trenchant - This option means sharply effective or insightful. It is similar in meaning to "incisive" and is not opposite.

Option 4: Precise - This option means accurate, definite, or exact. While it is not exactly opposite to "incisive", it does not convey the same sense of sharpness or insight.

Based on the analysis, the correct opposite option to "incisive" is option 1: vague.
