Correct Answer: harsh
Solution : The correct antonym is the fourth option.
Explanation for each option:
-
Sweet - This is a synonym of "dulcet", not an antonym. Both words have a similar meaning, indicating something pleasant or melodious.
-
Penurious - This word means extremely poor or poverty-stricken and does not provide an appropriate antonym for "dulcet".
-
Enliven - This word means to make something lively or animated, and it is not an antonym for "dulcet".
-
Harsh - This is the antonym of "dulcet", as it conveys a contrasting meaning of something rough or severe in sound or tone.
So, the correct sentence would be: "He has harsh words for his opponents."
