Correct Answer: permissive


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The word puritanical refers to strict adherence to moral values and principles. Its antonym, permissive, suggests a lenient or tolerant attitude towards morals, allowing more freedom or flexibility.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Orthodox: This refers to conforming to established and traditional beliefs or practices.
  • Prudish: This describes someone who is excessively concerned with modesty or propriety, often avoiding anything deemed improper or indecent.
  • Blasphemous: This term indicates something disrespectful or irreverent towards religious beliefs or sacred things.
