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.
