GRADUAL
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The most appropriate antonym of the word gradual is rapid.
- Gradual means "happening or developing slowly and in stages."
- Rapid means "happening or moving very quickly."
The other words do not have the same meaning as gradual, so they are not its antonyms.
- Moderate means "neither too great nor too small."
- Measured means "done or carried out with care and thought."
- Slow means "moving or happening at a relatively slow pace."
