From the given options, select the word that is opposite in meaning to 'Excruciating':

Options:

Sophisticated

Modern

Noisy

Mild

Correct Answer:

Mild

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Mild

  • Excruciating means extremely painful or intense.

  • The opposite of something extremely painful is something mild, meaning not severe or light.

Other options are incorrect:

  • Sophisticated – means refined or cultured; not related to pain.

  • Modern – relates to current times; unrelated.

  • Noisy – describes loud sound; not an opposite of excruciating.

Therefore, the correct opposite is Mild.
