Correct Answer: seldom


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

Explanation:

The word often indicates a high frequency or regular occurrence. In contrast, "seldom" means infrequent or rarely. The use of seldom as the antonym provides a clear contrast to the frequency implied by "often" in the original sentence.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Cherished: This word is an adjective describing the nature of the gifts.
  • Lovely: It describes the quality of the gifts rather than indicating infrequency.
  • Usually: It means happening or being done in most cases or instances.
