TIMID

Single correct option

Choose the word most nearly the OPPOSITE in meaning to: TIMID
  1. A. Shy
  2. B. Quiet
  3. C. Bold
  4. D. Careful
Show answer and solution

Answer: (C) Bold

'Timid' means lacking courage or confidence, so the antonym is 'bold'. 'Shy' is a synonym and the trap. 'Quiet' and 'careful' are partly related to timid behaviour but they do not express the opposite quality of daring.
