Question

Select the opposite of the given word:
Timid

• A. Thirsty
• B. Sharp
• C. Courageous
• D. Broad-minded

Answer 1

The correct option is C Courageous

The word, 'timid' means 'showing a lack of courage or confidence'. It also means 'easily frightened'. It is the opposite of the word 'courageous', which means 'brave'. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

The word, 'thirsty' means 'feeling a need to drink'. The word, 'sharp' means 'sharp-ended'. It also means 'fierce or intense'. The word, 'broad-minded' means 'tolerant or liberal in one's views and reactions'.

As the above three words do not mean the opposite of the word 'timid', options A, B and D are incorrect.
