Question:

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

RESERVED

Options:

Cowardly

Reticent

Friendly

Forgiving

Correct Answer:

Friendly

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3. Friendly.

"Reserved" typically describes someone who is restrained or cautious in their behavior, often not readily expressing their thoughts or emotions. They may hold back in social interactions or refrain from sharing personal information.

The antonym we're looking for should represent someone who is outgoing, open, or expressive in their interactions with others.

"Friendly" fits this description well. It describes someone who is warm, approachable, and amicable in their interactions with others.

Therefore, "friendly" is the appropriate antonym for "reserved" because it represents the opposite characteristic—openness and warmth in social interactions, contrasting with the restraint implied by "reserved."
