Choose the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

Gloomy

Options:

cheerful

humble

unhappy

Correct Answer:

cheerful

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word gloomy is cheerful.

  • Gloomy means dark, dull, or depressing.
  • Cheerful means happy, lively, and optimistic.

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

  • Humble means modest or unassuming.
  • Sad means feeling or showing sorrow or unhappiness.
  • Unhappy means not feeling happy or content.
