Antonyms

Question:

Choose the most appropriate antonym of the given word:

UPROARIOUS

Options:

calm

Tumultuous

bleating

upright

Correct Answer:

calm

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → calm

  • "Uproarious" means extremely noisy, boisterous, or loud, often with laughter or chaos.
  • The antonym is "Calm," which means peaceful, quiet, or serene, directly contrasting the meaning of "uproarious."

Other options are incorrect:

  • "Tumultuous" → Synonym of "uproarious," meaning noisy or chaotic, not an antonym.
  • "Bleating" → Refers to the sound made by sheep or a weak complaint, which is unrelated to the meaning of "uproarious."
  • "Upright" → Means morally or physically straight, which does not relate to the concept of noise or calmness.
