   Answer & explanation

   Answer: B) Rigid

   Answer: b) Rigid
   • The underlined word is flexible, which means able to change or adapt easily (अनुकूल / लचीलापन रखने वाला)
   • We need its opposite (antonym)
   Option meanings with Hindi:
   • Malleable – easily shaped or influenced (लचीला / प्रभाव में आने वाला) – synonym, not antonym
   • Rigid – not flexible, strict, inflexible (कठोर / सख्त) ✔️Antonym of flexible
   • Open-ended – not fixed or limited (खुला / अनिश्चित) – unrelated
   • Capable – having ability (सक्षम) – unrelated
   • So, flexible ≠ rigid – hence, rigid is the most appropriate antonym.

   Answer & explanation

   Answer: C) Rigid

   Explanation:
   Correct Answer: Rigid
   📘 Meaning of “Pliable”:
   • Pliable means easily bent or influenced, flexible
   → (लचीला / आसानी से मोड़ा या बदला जा सकने वाला)
   So, its antonym should mean not flexible, stiff, or unbending.
   ❌ Evaluation of Other Options:
   • Smooth – (चिकना) ❌
   ✖ Refers to texture, not flexibility
   • Even – (सपाट / बराबर) ❌
   ✖ Refers to surface or levelness, not flexibility
   • Rigid – (कठोर / अकड़ा हुआ) ✅
   ✔ Means stiff, inflexible — perfect antonym of “pliable”
   • Bending – (मोड़ने वाला) ❌
   ✖ Close to synonym of pliable, not an antonym
   🟢 So, the most appropriate antonym of Pliable is: Rigid, because it conveys inflexibility or stiffness, which is the opposite of being pliable.

Examples

• “The company follows a rigid dress code.”
