AUDACIOUS

Single correct option

Choose the word most nearly the OPPOSITE in meaning to: AUDACIOUS
  1. A. Timorous
  2. B. Daring
  3. C. Clever
  4. D. Proud
Show answer and solution

Answer: (A) Timorous

'Audacious' means boldly daring, so the antonym is 'timorous', meaning fearful. 'Daring' is a synonym and the trap. 'Clever' and 'proud' describe intelligence and self-regard, which do not give the opposite of bold behaviour.
