“Prepared,” when used as an adjective, can mean “ready for something : in a suitable condition for some purpose or activity,” so we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like “in a suitable condition for some purpose or activity.” That means that “unready” cannot be the correct answer, because “unready” means “not prepared for a situation or activity,” making it an antonym, not a synonym, of “prepared.” “Ready,” however, is an adjective that means “in a suitable state for an activity, action, or situation; fully prepared,” and because “ready” is the answer choice closest in meaning to “prepared,” “ready” is the correct answer.
