Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word in the given sentence.
The late secretary of our society was known for his ruthless treatment of all the security personnel of the society.Answer & explanation
Answer: B) Compassionate
Answer: b) Compassionate
Explanation:
The word "ruthless" means cruel, harsh, or showing no pity (निर्दयी, कठोर).
• Compassionate = showing kindness, sympathy, and concern for others (दयालु, सहानुभूति रखने वाला) → Correct antonym
• Startled = surprised or shocked (चकित) → unrelated
• Brutal = cruel or violent (निर्दयी) → synonym, not antonym
• Fragile = easily broken or delicate (नाज़ुक) → unrelated to behaviour or attitude
Only "compassionate" is the correct opposite of "ruthless" in this context.
