    • Doleful

    • Guadful

    • Graceful

    Correct Answer
    A. Disparaging
    Explanation

    Which is a synonym for halcyon? - ProProfs

    Which is a synonym for halcyon?

    • Agitation

    • Degradation

    • Facile

    • Bucolic

    Correct Answer
    A. Bucolic
    Explanation
    The word "halcyon" refers to a period of peace, tranquility, and prosperity. "Bucolic" is a suitable synonym for "halcyon" as it also represents a peaceful and idyllic rural setting. "Agitation," "degradation," and "facile" do not convey the same meaning and are therefore not synonyms for "halcyon."

    • Enliven

    Correct Answer
    A. Enliven
    Explanation
    The word "stupefy" means to make someone unable to think or feel properly, often by shocking or confusing them. An antonym for stupefy would be a word that means to invigorate or energize someone. "Enliven" fits this description as it means to make someone or something more lively or animated.

    • Putrid

    • Cautious

    • Inspired

    Correct Answer
    A. Sardonic
    Explanation
    Sardonic is the antonym for vitriolic because while vitriolic means bitter and harsh in tone, sardonic means mocking and sarcastic.

    To be quixotic is the same thing as to be what? - ProProfs

    To be quixotic is the same thing as to be what?

    • Bewildered

    • Selfish

    • Dreamy

    • Offensive

    Correct Answer
    A. Dreamy
    Explanation
    To be quixotic means to have extravagant and idealistic ideas or actions, often in pursuit of an unreachable goal. This aligns with the meaning of "dreamy," as it implies being lost in one's own fantasies or impractical ideas. Being quixotic and dreamy both suggest a tendency to pursue unrealistic or fanciful notions.

    When a place is rambunctious, it is said to be... - ProProfs

    When a place is rambunctious, it is said to be...

    • Quietened

    • Decadent

    • Upheaved

    • Raucous

    Correct Answer
    A. Raucous
    Explanation
    When a place is described as "raucous," it means that it is noisy, lively, and disorderly. This suggests that there is a lot of commotion and activity happening in the place, which may be due to people talking loudly, music playing, or other loud sounds. The term "raucous" implies a lack of calm or quietness, making it the opposite of "quietened." "Decadent" refers to a state of moral or cultural decline, which is unrelated to the level of noise or liveliness in a place. "Upheaved" means to be disturbed or disrupted, but it does not necessarily imply noise or disorder. Therefore, "raucous" is the most appropriate term to describe a place that is rambunctious.

    Which of these is an antonym for quip? - ProProfs

    Which of these is an antonym for quip?

    • Flatter

    • Banter

    • Gag

    • Astound

    Correct Answer
    A. Flatter
    Explanation
    An antonym for "quip" would be a word that has the opposite meaning. While "banter" and "gag" are related to making jokes or witty remarks, "astound" means to amaze or surprise. On the other hand, "flatter" means to praise or compliment someone, which is the opposite of making a sarcastic or clever remark like a quip. Therefore, "flatter" is the correct antonym for quip.
