Choose the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.
Chivalry
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The most appropriate antonym of the word chivalry is discourtesy.
- Chivalry is the traditional code of conduct of the knight, with its chivalric ideals of courage, honor, courtesy, justice, and a readiness to help the weak.
- Discourtesy is the lack of courtesy or politeness.
The other words do not have the same meaning as chivalry and are therefore not antonyms.
- Thoughtfulness means the quality of being thoughtful or considerate.
- Elegance means the quality of being graceful and refined.
- Disaffection means a lack of affection or loyalty.
