Question:

Choose the appropriate Antonym for the word below given:

INDIGNATION

Options:

tranquility

indifference

incompetent

incidental

Correct Answer:

tranquility

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) - tranquility

Indignation means strong anger or resentment, usually due to something unfair or offensive.

The opposite of indignation would be a state of calmness and peace, which is best represented by tranquility.

Why the other options are incorrect

  • Indifference means lack of concern, not exactly the opposite of strong anger.
  • Incompetent means lacking ability, which is unrelated to indignation.
  • Incidental means secondary or minor, which does not relate to indignation.
