Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

Ardent

Options:

Admirable

Beautiful

Sincere

Apathetic

Correct Answer:

Apathetic

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word ardent is apathetic.

  • Ardent means "showing great enthusiasm or passion."
  • Apathetic means "showing or feeling no interest, enthusiasm, or concern."

The other words have different meanings to ardent, so they are not good antonyms.

  • Admirable means "worthy of admiration."
  • Beautiful means "having a pleasing or attractive appearance."
  • Sincere means "free from pretense or deceit."
