Answer: A) Fervent
Correct Answer: Fervent
Explanation:
Stoic (adjective) means showing endurance and calmness without displaying emotions, especially pain or hardship — often unemotional or indifferent.

• Fervent – ✅ Correct; means having or showing intense passion or enthusiasm — opposite of stoic.
• Tolerant – Incorrect; means accepting differences, not opposite to stoic.
• Apathetic – Incorrect; means showing no interest or concern, similar to stoic in emotional detachment.

Choose the correct antonym of the word:
FERVENTAnswer & explanation
Answer: A) Indifferent
Meaning: fervent = showing intense and passionate feeling *(उत्कट, प्रबल, जोशीला)*.
The opposite of intense feeling is the absence of feeling.
Indifferent = having no interest or concern *(उदासीन, तटस्थ)*.
Why the others are wrong.
• Passionate = full of strong emotion *(भावुक, जोशीला)* — a direct synonym.
• Zealous = full of eager enthusiasm for a cause *(उत्साही, जोशपूर्ण)* — synonym again.
• Warm = affectionate, hearty *(गर्मजोशी भरा, स्नेहपूर्ण)* — a milder form of the same sense.
Word help.
fervour = intensity of feeling, ardour *(उत्कटता, जोश)*.
*Fervent is from Latin fervere, to boil — indifference is the cold end of the same scale.*
