Antonyms

Question:

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM for the given word.
Stubborn

Options:

Obstinate

Adamant

Compliant

Defiant

Correct Answer:

Compliant

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym for the word stubborn is compliant.

  • Stubborn means unwilling to change one's opinion or course of action, even when faced with strong arguments or persuasion.
  • Compliant means willing to obey or do as one is asked.

The other words do not have the same meaning as stubborn and are therefore not antonyms.

  • Obstinate means stubbornly refusing to change one's opinion or course of action.
  • Adamant means unyielding or inflexible in one's beliefs or opinions.
  • Defiant means openly disobedient or challenging to authority.
