Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.
Asperity
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Civility.
"Asperity" refers to harshness or severity in tone, manner, or behaviour. In contrast, "Civility" denotes politeness, courtesy, and respectfulness in interactions with others.
Therefore, "Civility" serves as the antonym of "Asperity" because it represents the opposite quality of being harsh or severe.
The other options, "virility," "acidity," and "curiosity," do not accurately represent the opposite meaning of "Asperity."
