Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word.
Blistering

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Correct Answer

Chilly

Explanation

The word "Blistering" is used to describe something that is intensely hot, harsh, or fierce (e.g., blistering heat). Since the question asks for an antonym (opposite meaning), "Chilly" is the correct choice as it means noticeably cold.

Key Points

Word: Blistering (intensely hot)

Antonym: Chilly (cold)

Why other options fail: Scorching and Burning are synonyms (mean the same thing), while Incendiary means designed to cause fires or stir up conflict.
