Question:

Choose the antonym for the following word:

"MERCURIAL"

Options:

level - headed

ephemerel

laconic

skinflint

Correct Answer:

level - headed

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) - level - headed

  • Mercurial means unpredictable, volatile, or subject to sudden changes in mood or behavior.
  • Level-headed is the opposite, meaning calm, steady, and composed.
  • Other Options
  1. Ephemeral: Means short-lived or fleeting, which is not an antonym of mercurial.
  2. Laconic: Means concise or using very few words, which is unrelated to unpredictability or volatility.
  3. Skinflint: Refers to a miserly person, which has no connection to the meaning of mercurial.
