The beauty of cherry blossoms is ephemeral, as the delicate pink petals bloom for only a short period.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Permanent.
The most appropriate antonym for "ephemeral" is "permanent," as "ephemeral" means lasting for a short time, and "permanent" means lasting indefinitely.
The other options—"uniform," "unwavering," and "transient"—do not directly contrast with the idea of something being short-lived, making "permanent" the best choice.
