Question : Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word.
The WHO issued a statement on Sunday morning that though the Omicron variant of coronavirus may appear to be less severe, it should not be dismissed as 'mild'.
Option 1: Withered
Option 2: Sick
Option 3: Gentle
Option 4: Voracious
Correct Answer: Gentle
Solution : The correct choice is the third option .
The meaning of "severe" is something bad or undesirable with great intensity. And the meaning of "gentle" is having or showing a mild, kind, or tender temperament or character. Both words have opposite meanings.
The meanings of the other words are as follows:
- Voracious : It refers to the one who wants or devours a great deal of food or knowledge.
- Withered : This means to become dry and die (used for plants)
- Sick : This means not well or ill.
So, the right answer is gentle.
