Choose the word from the options given below which is opposite in meaning to the given underlined word:

STIFF

Flexible

The correct answer is Option (1) → Flexible

"Stiff" means rigid or not easily bent, so its opposite is "flexible," which means capable of bending or being adjusted easily.

Option (2) → Hard: Similar in meaning to "stiff," not its opposite.
Option (3) → Strong: Refers to power or strength, not the opposite of "stiff."
Option (4) → Tender: Means soft or gentle, but not directly opposite in meaning to "stiff" in the context of rigidity.
