Choose the word that is most opposite in meaning to "scared".
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
‘Scared’ means feeling of fear or being frightened.
‘Brave’ means ready to face and endure danger or pain, showing courage. Since bravery is the presence of courage where fear might otherwise be, it is the direct antonym.
Nervous and Worried are synonyms (words with similar meanings) to scared.
Cautious means being careful to avoid problems or danger, which is a behavior often driven by a sense of being "scared" or wary, rather than being its opposite.
