Correct Answer:

sharp

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word blunt is sharp.

  • Blunt means "having a rounded or dull edge or point."
  • Sharp means "having a fine, thin edge or point that is able to cut or pierce easily."

The other words do not have the same meaning as sharp.

  • Pointless means "having no purpose or use."
  • Dull means "not sharp or pointed; having a rounded or blunt edge or point."
  • Round means "having a smooth, continuous surface with no sharp edges or corners."
