She is a pragmatist which means che is very realistic about the possibilities and the future She does not build cathedral on the sand.

So the words that fit the bill are: disinclined and loath. She is reluctant to dream of future options that could not exist.

The analogy between basing her future on impractical dreams and building a castle on shifting sand is contrasted with her practicality. So, if she is practical, she won't base her future on impractical dreams and she won't build a castle on shifting sand. The two word closest to this idea are options B and C

We are told that she is a pragmatist. Therefore, she would not do anything impractical. And just as she would not build castles on sand, she would be disinclined and loath to base her future on impractical dreams.

She is pragmatist --> Will not build future on impractical dreams

Need the words that share the same tone.
Disinclined and Loath means -->not ready to do

Hence BC is the Answer.

Make the pairs of the words that make a similar sentence:
A,E and B,C make the pairs.
She is pragmatic so she is disinclined towards impractical matters.
So B,C makes the answer.
