Back to paper

Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follows.
Where there is a will, there is a way, that is, if we are really determined to do a thing, however difficult it may be, however great obstacles in our path, we shall at last find a way of doing it. All difficulties, all hardships, all obstacles, however, insurmountable they may appear, melt before a determined will. A fierce desire, a strong determination, an iron will, will overcome all obstacles and triumph over all difficulties. A strong will is like a rushing torrent that sweeps away rocks and stones and trees in the path. Men who have ‘towered high above their fellows’ have been remarkable for their undaunted will.

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM for the given word.
Undaunted

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Cowardly.

  • "Undaunted" means showing courage and determination despite challenges. The antonym "cowardly" directly contrasts with this meaning, describing someone who lacks courage and is easily intimidated.
  • The other options—"indomitable," "impetuous," and "feisty"—do not directly oppose the concept of being undaunted.
  • "Indomitable" actually means incapable of being subdued, which aligns with "undaunted." "Impetuous" refers to acting quickly without thought, and "feisty" means lively or spirited, neither of which are direct antonyms to "undaunted."
