Question

Choose the word which is closest to the opposite in meaning to the italicized word and fill in the blank.
Shalini has a slender figure, while her husband is _________.

• A. brave
• B. frail
• C. healthy
• D. stout

Answer 1

The correct option is D stout

Slender means (of a person or part of the body) gracefully thin. The opposite of slender is stout, or (of a person) rather fat or of heavy build. Hence, Option D is correct. Among the rest of the options, brave means courageous or bold, frail means weak or easily breakable, healthy means in a good physical or mental condition.These do not express this antonym, hence incorrect.
