Question:

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word in a sentence.

She enunciated each word slowly and carefully.

Options:

Chanted

Uttered

 vague

Murmured

Correct Answer:

Murmured

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4. Murmured.

Let us break down the sentence:

"She enunciated each word slowly and carefully."

In this sentence, "enunciated" means that she pronounced each word clearly and distinctly. When someone enunciates, they articulate their words precisely.

The antonym of "enunciated" would be a word that describes speaking in a way that is not clear or distinct. In this context, "Murmured" fits as the antonym, as it suggests speaking quietly and indistinctly, often with mumbled or unclear words
