Question:

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

Sagacious

Options:

Dull

Profound

keen

Intelligent

Correct Answer:

Dull

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word sagacious is dull.

  • Sagacious means "having or showing keen insight and judgment; shrewd."
  • Dull means "not sharp or keen; obtuse."

The other words do not have the same meaning as sagacious, so they are not its antonyms.

  • Profound means "having great depth of thought or understanding."
  • Keen means "having or showing a sharp or eager mind."
  • Intelligent means "having or showing the ability to understand things quickly and easily; quick-witted."
