Choose the antonym of 'Peevish'. 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Peevish means easily irritated, especially by unimportant things; fretful or cross.

Suave means charming, confident, and elegant (typically used of a man), which represents a pleasant and composed demeanor.

Flat: Means level, even, or lacking interest/emotion; not an antonym.

Tedious: Means too long, slow, or dull; tiresome. This is unrelated to being peevish.

Dull: Means lacking interest or excitement; not an antonym.

‘Suave’ is the correct antonym of ‘Peevish’.
