What does the term "impetuous" refer to?

  1. Acting with careful thought

  2. Done quickly and without thought or care

  3. Showing great skill and precision

  4. Characterized by meticulous planning

The correct answer is: Done quickly and without thought or care

The term "impetuous" refers to actions that are done quickly and without thought or care. It describes a tendency to act on impulse rather than making decisions based on careful consideration or planning. This choice aligns with the common usage of the word, which often carries the connotation of hastiness or rashness in behavior. In contrast, the other options reflect characteristics of carefulness, precision, or meticulousness, which are the opposite of what "impetuous" describes.
