Question:

Choose the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

Ecstasy

Options:

Excitement

Depression

Elation

Euphoria

Correct Answer:

Depression

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word ecstasy is depression.

  • Ecstasy means "a state of intense happiness or joyful excitement."
  • Depression means "a state of sadness or unhappiness that is long-lasting and has a significant impact on a person's ability to function."

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

  • Excitement means "a feeling of great enthusiasm and eagerness."
  • Elation means "a feeling of great happiness and elation."
  • Euphoria means "a feeling of intense happiness and well-being."
