The correct answer is option 4. calm. "Agitate" typically means to disturb or upset, often by provoking strong emotions or actions. The antonym we're looking for should describe an action that involves calming or soothing, rather than disturbing or provoking. "Calm" fits this description perfectly. It means to make peaceful or tranquil, contrasting with "agitate," which implies causing unrest or disturbance. Therefore, "calm" is the appropriate antonym for "agitate" because it represents the opposite action—making peaceful or tranquil instead of disturbing or provoking. |
