Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word.
He was quite violent in his behaviour.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Gentle.
"Violent" refers to behavior that is aggressive, forceful, or intense in a harmful way.
In contrast, "gentle" denotes behavior that is calm, kind, or mild, serving as an antonym for "violent."
The other options - "crazy," "aggressive," and "savage" - all convey varying degrees of intensity or aggressiveness, which do not contrast effectively with the meaning of "violent."
Therefore, "gentle" is the correct choice for the antonym.
