Jovial
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The most appropriate antonym of the word jovial is gloomy.
- Jovial means "cheerful, good-humored, and lively."
- Gloomy means "showing or causing gloom; dismal or depressing."
The other words do not have the same meaning as jovial, so they are not its antonyms.
- Hesitant means "tending to hesitate or delay."
- Cheerful means "feeling or showing happiness or optimism."
- Tired means "feeling or showing weariness or fatigue."
