Correct Answer: Subduing
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
Explanation for each option:
"Stressful" - This is not the opposite of "stimulating". A stressful melody can also be stimulating in a different way.
"Troubling" - While troubling can be the opposite of pleasant, it may not directly contrast with "stimulating".
"Subduing" - This word contrasts with "stimulating" as it implies calming or reducing excitement.
"Harsh" - While a harsh melody can be unpleasing, it may not be the direct opposite of "stimulating".
So, the correct sentence would be: "The sound of rain tapping against the window was a subduing melody, lulling him to sleep."
