Correct Answer: harsh


Solution : The correct antonym is the fourth option.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Sweet - This is a synonym of "dulcet", not an antonym. Both words have a similar meaning, indicating something pleasant or melodious.

  2. Penurious - This word means extremely poor or poverty-stricken and does not provide an appropriate antonym for "dulcet".

  3. Enliven - This word means to make something lively or animated, and it is not an antonym for "dulcet".

  4. 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."
