Question:

Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word.

Gloomy

Options:

Cloudy

Bright

Dull

Greedy

Correct Answer:

Bright

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word gloomy is bright.

  • Gloomy means "dark, dull, and depressing."
  • Bright means "full of light or giving out light; shining."

The other words do not have the same meaning as gloomy, so they are not its antonyms.

  • Cloudy means "covered with or obscured by clouds."
  • Dull means "not bright or shining; lacking brightness or liveliness."
  • Greedy means "having or showing a strong or excessive desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food."
