Correct Answer: cheerful


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The word woeful conveys a sense of sadness or misery.

Its antonym, cheerful, represents a state of being happy and positive. In the context of the sentence, if someone's eyes are described as "woeful", it means they are expressing sadness or sorrow.

The meanings of other words are:

  • Bewailing: This means to express deep sorrow, grief, or lamentation.
  • Plangent: This means to have a loud, mournful sound. It's often used to describe something that produces a sad or mournful tone, like the sound of a bell or music.
  • Agonised: This means to experience intense physical or emotional pain or distress.

Therefore, the right answer is cheerful.
