Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

Drenched

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Fresh.

  • "Drenched" means completely soaked or saturated with liquid, usually water.
  • "Airy" means light, with a free flow of air, and is opposite in meaning to being soaked or saturated.

The other options have different meanings:

  • "Fresh" typically means clean or not spoiled.
  • "Damp" is related to slight wetness or humidity.
  • "Lively" means full of life and energy.

Therefore, "airy" is the most suitable antonym in this context.
