Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word.
She made a courageous decision to quit her job.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

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

- The underlined word is “courageous”, which means brave, fearless, or bold.

- Its antonym should mean lacking courage or fearful.

myopic – means short-sighted (either literally or in thinking); not related to courage. 

coward – means a person who lacks courage or is easily frightened. 

calm – means peaceful or not agitated; it is not opposite to 'courageous'.

obstinate – means stubborn; again, not the opposite of 'courageous'.
