GENEROUS

Single correct option

Choose the word most nearly the OPPOSITE in meaning to: GENEROUS
  1. A. Kind
  2. B. Wealthy
  3. C. Modest
  4. D. Stingy
Show answer and solution

Answer: (D) Stingy

'Generous' means willing to give freely, so the opposite is 'stingy', unwilling to spend or share. 'Kind' is close to a synonym. 'Wealthy' and 'modest' describe riches and humility, and a generous person may be either, so neither is a true opposite.
