Choose the word most opposite in meaning to the word 'RELUCTANT'.
  1. A. Eager
  2. B. Hesitant
  3. C. Unwilling
  4. D. Doubtful
Show answer and solution

Answer: (A) Eager

Reluctant means unwilling or hesitant to do something. The opposite is 'eager', meaning keen. The other three options are all close in meaning to reluctant, so they are synonyms and therefore wrong. Read the question carefully, since the synonym of the word is almost always included among the options as a deliberate distractor.
