Select the most appropriate ANTONYM for the given word.
Idle
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The most appropriate antonym for the word idle is active.
- Idle means not working or being used; inactive.
- Active means working or being used; engaged in activity.
The other words do not have the same meaning as idle and are therefore not antonyms.
- Fallow means (of land) not being used for cultivation.
- Latent means existing but not yet active or manifest.
- Dormant means (of a plant or animal) temporarily inactive or in a state of suspended animation.
