Question:

Choose the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

GLOOMY

Options:

Lively 

Descend

Abnoxious 

Divulge 

Correct Answer:

Lively 

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word "gloomy" is lively.

  • Gloomy means "dark, dull, and depressing."
  • Lively means "full of life, energy, and excitement."

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

  • Descend means "to move or go down."
  • Abnoxious means "extremely unpleasant or disagreeable."
  • Divulge means "to make known (something that should be kept secret)."
