To Myschool Angela,
But why do you pick flamboyant, when extravagant is a synonym of flamboyant

Yep, "pious" is the opposite of "ascetic" in meaning. "Pious" means devoutly religious, which is the opposite of "ascetic," which means not interested in worldly pleasures. "Selfless" means thinking of others before yourself, which is not the opposite of "ascetic." "Ascetic" and "selfless" can both be viewed as virtuous qualities. So "pious" is the correct answer! 🙃🙃
