Correct Answer: Midget


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation: Behemoth is a term used to describe something immense, powerful, or colossal.

To convey the opposite sense of vastness and power, the term midget is well-suited. A midget is something or someone small or diminutive, offering a stark contrast to the grandiosity implied by behemoth .

Therefore, the correct antonym is midget .

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Monster: It refers to a creature, typically large and frightening, often used in a metaphorical sense to describe something huge or formidable.

  • Colossus: It refers to a gigantic statue or a person or thing of enormous size or importance.

  • Dreadnought: It refers to a type of battleship, but it can be used metaphorically to describe something powerful and fearsome.
