What is the antonym of “Hebetudinous"?
Answer & explanation
Answer: C) Sharp
Meaning: hebetudinous = dull, lethargic, mentally sluggish *(मंद, सुस्त, जड़)*; from *hebetude*, dullness.
Antonym: sharp = quick-witted, alert, keen *(तेज़, कुशाग्र)*.
A dull mind against a sharp mind — the standard pair.
Why the others are wrong.
• Unintelligent = lacking intelligence *(मूर्ख, बुद्धिहीन)* — close to the meaning itself, not its opposite.
• Drowsy = sleepy *(उनींदा)* — a synonym of the lethargic sense.
• Sluggish = slow-moving, inactive *(सुस्त)* — a synonym.
Word help.
hebetude = mental dullness *(मानसिक जड़ता)*.
*Hebetude is the noun, hebetate the verb — both mean making dull.*
