  We believe,pehaps unimaginative, that this...  考点就是这个unimaginative

  正确选项是A pedestrian 这个词本身没有必要讲解,如果你查阅韦氏字典这个单词的解释就是 unimaginative /commonplace

  -tive 这个后缀的含义:having a tendency to do, or tending to, 倾向于

  unimaginative 在朗文字典的解释比较准确:

  lacking the ability to think of new or unusaul ideas, ordinary and boring

  -able 表示能力,所以unimaginable是不可想象的,not imaginable or comprehensible ,too extraordinary or improbable to believe,INCREDIABLE
