Correct Answer: morose


Solution : The first option is correct.

Jolly: It denotes being cheerful, happy, and full of high spirits.

Morose: It denotes being gloomy, sullen, or ill-tempered.

In the sentence, the context suggests a positive and happy voice, so the opposite of jolly would be a voice that is gloomy or ill-tempered, making morose the suitable antonym in this case.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

Tabular: It denotes relating to or presented in the form of a table.

Festive: It denotes pertaining to a celebration or a festival; lively and joyous.

Witty: It means cleverly humorous, quick-witted, or amusing.
