Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word. Timid |
Bold Sincere Punctual Dubious |
Bold |
The correct answer is option 2. Bold "Timid" describes someone who lacks confidence, is easily frightened, or hesitant to take risks. It suggests a cautious or shy demeanor, often avoiding confrontation or assertiveness. The antonym we're seeking should represent someone who is confident, daring, or not afraid to take risks. "Bold" fits this description perfectly. It describes someone who is courageous, assertive, or willing to take risks despite potential challenges or consequences. Therefore, "bold" is the appropriate antonym for "timid" because it represents the opposite characteristic—confidence and assertiveness, contrasting with the cautiousness implied by "timid." |
