Antonyms

Question:

Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word.

Disillusioned

Options:

Disappointed

Embittered

Enthusiastic

Soured

Correct Answer:

Enthusiastic

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3. Enthusiastic.

"Disillusioned" refers to feeling disappointed or disillusioned, often due to a realization that something is not as good as one believed it to be. It implies a loss of belief or faith in something previously idealized.

The antonym we're looking for should represent a positive attitude or outlook, indicating satisfaction or enthusiasm.

"Enthusiastic" fits this description perfectly. It means showing keen interest, excitement, or eagerness about something.

Therefore, "enthusiastic" is the appropriate antonym for "disillusioned" because it represents the opposite characteristic—a positive and eager attitude, contrasting with the disappointment implied by "disillusioned."
