Antonyms

Question:

Choose the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

Merry

Options:

Unhappy

Cheerful

Jovial

Enthusiastic

Correct Answer:

Unhappy

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word "merry" is unhappy.

  • Merry means "feeling or showing great happiness and enjoyment."
  • Unhappy means "not happy; feeling or showing sadness or discontent."

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

  • Cheerful means "showing or feeling happiness or optimism."
  • Jovial means "cheerful and good-humored."
  • Enthusiastic means "showing or feeling strong excitement and interest."
