Answer: B) dullness
Answer: b) dullness
Explanation:
The word "zest" means enthusiasm, excitement, or energy (जोश, उत्साह).
We are asked to find the antonym — the word that expresses the opposite meaning.
• Dullness = lack of energy or excitement (उदासी, नीरसता) → Correct antonym of "zest"
• Remove = to take away (हटाना) → not related in meaning
• Peppy = full of energy (उत्साही) → synonym, not antonym
• Energetic = active and full of energy (ऊर्जावान) → synonym, not antonym
Only "dullness" expresses the opposite of "zest".
