The correct answer is Option (2) - Essential
Explanation:
-
Frivolous means not having any serious purpose or value; silly or trivial. → Example: He spends his money on frivolous things.
-
Antonym: Something serious, meaningful, or important. Hence, “essential” (meaning important, necessary) is the correct opposite.
Why others are incorrect:
-
Volatile → means unstable or changeable, not the opposite of frivolous.
-
Frugality → means being economical or avoiding waste; unrelated in meaning.
-
Invincible → means impossible to defeat; again, not opposite in sense.
