Re: The author told the publisher that the royalty payment specified in th [#permalink]

The author told the publisher that the royalty payment specified in the contract was _______ because the research costs, including traveling for writing the book, were far more than the royalties projected for a year.

It seems that the royalty is not enough for covering the research cost.
Why not incomprehensible and unrealistic?

A, B, C, and F are clearly wrong

D and E

Projected. Therefore, they are unrealistic for the future. Insufficient is related to the present when something is NOT enough

I think the tone of unrealistic and insufficient doesn't match here. Unrealistic is a far more stronger word than insufficient. Incomprehensible fits the bill then for me.
