Answer:
C. Marge felt that the chances of the expensive, new car malfunctioning were remote.
Explanation:
The definition of imminent is an event or action that has yet to happen but is bound to happen very soon.
Here is the definition from the Oxford Dictionary
1. (adjective) about to happen.
A, "The committee told us that time for the awarding of prizes was very close," is an example of this because it says that the prizes about to be rewarded very soon. Basically saying that the awarding of prizes is imminent.
B, "Jake knew some kind of punishment for his forgetfulness was fast approaching," means that Jake's punishment is fast approaching. In other words, Jake's punishment is imminent.
These two are not the answer, because we're looking for the antonym, or opposite of the meaning of imminent. That leaves C. Which has nothing to do with the word imminent or anything that is about to happen.
I hope this helped :D
