Question:

Choose the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

Turbulent

Options:

Successful

Defeat

Calm

Tumultuous

Correct Answer:

Calm

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word turbulent is calm.

  • Turbulent means "(of a situation or state of affairs) characterized by violent disturbance or disorder."
  • Calm means "(of a person or their manner) not showing or feeling any disturbance or excitement."

The other words do not have the same meaning as "turbulent" and are therefore not antonyms.

  • Successful means "having achieved the desired or intended outcome."
  • Defeat means "the loss of a battle or contest."
  • Tumultuous means "(of a crowd or gathering) noisy and disorderly."
