Fill in the blank with the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word.
In spring the leaves are bright green, whereas they appear ______ in autumn.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. dull.
In contrast to "bright green" in spring, the leaves are typically "dull" in autumn, meaning they lose their brightness and vibrancy.
The other options ("gleaming," "luminous," "dazzling") suggest brightness or shine, which are not appropriate antonyms in this context.
