Question

Select the word or group of words that is farthest in meaning to the word in capital letters.

GARRULOUS

• A. Reticent
• B. Soft-spoken
• C. Peaceful
• D. Kind

Answer 1

The correct option is A Reticent

Antonyms are words that have contrasting, or opposite, meanings.

Choice A is correct. Garrulous means 'extremely talkative on trivial matters' the opposite being reticent meaning 'not ready to reveal one's thoughts or feelings readily'. For example: She was extremely reticent about her personal affairs. Choice B means 'someone who speaks very softly. Choice C means 'not fighting'. choice D means 'someone who is gives readily'. Choice B, C and D are wrong.
