Explanation:
  • Lament means to express grief or sorrow, so its antonym is rejoice, which means to feel or show great joy.
  • Kindred refers to being of similar nature or related, so its antonym is unrelated, meaning not connected or associated.
  • Melodious describes something having a pleasing sound or tune, so its antonym is discordant, meaning harsh or disagreeable in sound.
  • Lethargy is a state of sluggishness or inactivity, so its antonym is alertness, which means being watchful and attentive.
