Antonyms

Question:

Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word.

VIGILANT

Options:

Cautious

Alert

Rash

Wary

Correct Answer:

Rash

Explanation:

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."
