Question:

Choose the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

PRUDENT

Options:

Clumsy

Divulge 

Indiscreet 

Burdensome

Correct Answer:

Indiscreet 

Explanation:

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."
