The committee's decision was anything but -------; members had debated for weeks and considered every possible viewpoint.

  1. unanimous
  2. hasty (correct answer)
  3. controversial
  4. final

Explanation: The phrase 'anything but' means that the decision was the opposite of the word in the blank. The clue 'debated for weeks and considered every possible viewpoint' describes a careful, thorough process. Therefore, the decision was anything but rushed or impulsive. 'Hasty,' meaning done with excessive speed or urgency, is the correct choice. The decision could have been 'unanimous,' 'controversial,' or 'final,' but these words do not describe the decision-making process that is being contrasted.
