Out of the given alternatives select the alternative which best expresses the meaning of given word.
Propitious
Explanation: Propitious means giving or indicating a good chance of success, so favorable is the correct synonym. Adverse is opposite in meaning because it suggests unfavorable conditions. Vacillating means irresolute or wavering, which relates to lack of firmness. Taciturn means silent or reserved, so it does not match the meaning of propitious.
Out of the given alternatives select the alternative which best expresses the meaning of given word.
Tenacious
Explanation: Tenacious means holding firmly to something and being very determined, so persistent is the correct synonym. Yielding is opposite in meaning because it means giving way or not remaining firm. Chatty relates to being talkative, and amenable means compliant or flexible, so both are unsuitable.
Out of the given alternatives select the alternative which best expresses the meaning of given word.
Obdurate
Explanation: Obdurate means stubbornly refusing to change one’s opinion or course of action, so inflexible is the correct synonym. Promising is related to propitious and means likely to succeed. Reticent means reserved or silent. Improve is related to ameliorate, so these options do not express the meaning of obdurate.
Out of the given alternatives select the alternative which best expresses the meaning of given word.
Loquacious
Explanation: Loquacious means tending to talk a great deal, so garrulous is the correct synonym. Resolute means determined and relates to tenacious. Ominous means threatening or inauspicious and is opposite in sense to propitious. Alleviate means to reduce or make something better, so it is not suitable here.
Out of the given alternatives select the word opposite in meaning to the given word.
Ameliorate
Explanation: Ameliorate means to make something bad or unsatisfactory better, so its opposite is worsen. Enhance and better are synonyms because they also mean to improve. Propitiate is a related word of propitious but does not express the opposite of ameliorate.
Out of the given alternatives select the word opposite in meaning to the given word.
Tenacious
Explanation: Tenacious means very determined and persistent, so irresolute is the correct antonym because it means lacking firmness or determination. Steadfast, determined, and persistent all support the idea of firmness and continued effort, so they are closer to the meaning of tenacious rather than its opposite.
Out of the given alternatives select the word opposite in meaning to the given word.
Loquacious
Explanation: Loquacious means very talkative, so silent is the correct opposite. Verbose, chatty, and garrulous all suggest excessive or frequent talking, and therefore they are synonyms or related words of loquacious rather than antonyms. Hence, they cannot be selected as the opposite.
Out of the given alternatives select the word opposite in meaning to the given word.
Obdurate
Explanation: Obdurate means stubbornly refusing to change one’s opinion or action, so compliant is the correct antonym because it means willing to agree or obey. Stubborn, intransigent, and unyielding all express firmness or refusal to change, so they are close in meaning to obdurate, not opposite to it.
