Correct Answer: hostile
Solution : The most appropriate antonym is the fourth option.
Friendly and hostile are antonyms. Friendly describes a warm, kind, and amiable nature, while hostile indicates an unfriendly, aggressive, or antagonistic nature. In the sentence, the dog is friendly, and the cat is portrayed as its opposite, which is hostile.
Loving, welcoming, and affectionate are synonyms or are similar in meaning to friendly and would not convey the intended contrast in the sentence.
Therefore, the complete sentence should be: "The friendly dog wagged its tail, while the hostile cat hissed."
