Choose the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.
PRUDENT
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The most appropriate antonym of the word "prudent" is indiscreet.
- Prudent means "showing care and thought for the future; cautious."
- Indiscreet means "not showing care or thought for the consequences of one's actions; rash."
The other words do not have the same meaning as "prudent" and are therefore not antonyms.
- Clumsy means "awkward or inefficient in movement or action."
- Divulge means "to make known (something that should be kept secret)."
- Burdensome means "causing trouble or difficulty."
