Correct Answer: seldom


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Seldom means infrequent. In the context of the sentence discussing areas that need cleaning, the opposite of frequent cleaning would be seldom cleaning, making it the most suitable antonym in this case.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Confirmed means having certainty or assurance.
  • Dawdle means to waste time or move slowly.
  • Constant means continuous or uninterrupted.

Therefore, the improved sentence would be: "For high-moisture areas, like kitchens and baths, or where seldom cleaning is required, use only oil-based."
