Callous
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Cruel.
"Callous" means being insensitive, unfeeling, or showing a lack of sympathy or concern for others, which aligns closely with "cruel."
"Generous" and "Affectionate" are antonyms, as they imply kindness and care.
"Exhausting" is unrelated to the meaning of "callous."
Thus, "Cruel" is the correct synonym.
