Question:

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM for the given word.
Worried

Options:

Calm

Fierce

Blustering

Furious

Correct Answer:

Calm

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym for the word worried is calm.

  • Worried means feeling or showing anxiety or concern.
  • Calm means not showing or feeling any nervousness, anxiety, or excitement.

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

  • Fierce means (of a person or their behavior) violent, aggressive, or threatening.
  • Blustering means behaving in a noisy and aggressive way, especially in order to intimidate others.
  • Furious means extremely angry.
