Correct Answer: guarded


Solution : The correct choice will be the second option.

The most appropriate antonym for the underlined word "assaulted" in the given sentence is "guarded".

Explanation:

Assaulted: It refers to a physical attack or violent act.

Guarded: It implies protection or being kept safe from harm.

In the context of the sentence, if a boy died after being assaulted by a teacher, the opposite scenario would involve the boy being kept safe or protected. Hence, "guarded" is the most suitable antonym.
