Placid : Turbulent
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Zenith : Nadir
Docile is antonyms of Defiant, 'Docile' means easily controlled or submissive, while 'defiant' means actively resisting or opposing authority.
Similarly, Placid and Turbulent are also antonyms, 'placid' means calm and peaceful, while 'turbulent' means chaotic and disturbed.
Option 2 is the correct answer as they are actually antonyms, meaning they are direct opposites: 'zenith' refers to the highest point, while 'nadir' refers to the lowest point, particularly in astronomy where they represent the directly overhead point and the directly below point,
Option 2 is the correct answer i.e Zenith: Nadir.
