Antonyms

Question:

Choose the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

Hoarse

Options:

Blatant

Gentle

Discordant

Harsh

Correct Answer:

Gentle

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word "hoarse" is gentle.

  • Hoarse means "having a rough, harsh, or raspy voice."
  • Gentle means "kind, mild, or soft."

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

  • Blatant means "very obvious or noticeable."
  • Discordant means "not in harmony or agreement."
  • Harsh means "rough, harsh, or grating."
