Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word in the given sentence.
She looked tired and sallow after the long day she’d had.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Flushed.
The word “sallow” means a yellowish, unhealthy complexion.
The antonym of sallow is flushed, which means having a healthy reddish or pinkish color, usually indicating good health or emotion.
Option 1 (Livid): Means extremely angry or dark bluish color, not a direct antonym.
Option 3 (Pallid): Means pale, which is similar to sallow, so not an antonym.
Option 4 (Paled): Past tense of pale, also similar in meaning to sallow.
