VIGILANT
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The most appropriate antonym of the word vigilant is rash.
- Vigilant means "alertly watchful especially to avoid danger."
- Rash means "acting without proper thought or consideration; hasty or reckless."
The other words have different meanings to vigilant, so they are not good antonyms.
- Cautious means "showing care and thoughtfulness; avoiding rashness or danger."
- Alert means "quick to notice or respond to danger or opportunity."
- Wary means "cautious or distrustful."
