Choose the option that best explains the information conveyed in each sentence.
His arguments do not hold water. His argument are

  1. baseless ✓
  2. unneccessary
  3. coming in too late
  4. disregarded
Explanation

“Hold water” is an idiom. If an argument does not hold water, it is weak and has no solid reason behind it.

So “baseless” is the best meaning: the arguments have no basis.

“Disregarded” would mean ignored, which is a different idea.
