Explanation:

- The sentence implies that the person is unable to grasp or understand something crucial. The word "obtuse" often refers to someone who is slow to understand or perceive things.

- Option 1: sensitive – Sensitive is the opposite of obtuse. It refers to someone who is keenly aware or feels things deeply.

- Option 2: careful – Careful refers to someone who pays attention to details and takes precautions, which doesn't match the meaning of obtuse.

- Option 3: quick witted – Quick-witted means being able to think and understand things rapidly, which is contrary to obtuse.

- Option 4: dull – This option matches best. Dull can mean slow to understand or lacking sharpness - precisely what obtuse signifies in this context.
