What is the best definition for the underlined word based on the following sentence? "douglass' decision to strike back against master covey, though seemingly just, was imprudent, and could have resulted in his immediate death."

Okay, i don't know if you have any options to choose from, but the word imprudent basically means careless, rash, unwise, misguided, foolish, etc.it means that if douglass struck back against master covey, it would be a stupid decision as he would be killed afterwards.

Ican't answer this for you unless you complete your question
