Question : Select the appropriate antonym for the underlined word.
It was a very generous and jolly voice.
Option 1: morose
Option 2: tabular
Option 3: festive
Option 4: witty
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.
