- SSC MTS 2025 Antonyms
Choose the word that is most opposite in meaning to "scared".
Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Brave
The correct answer is Option 1: Brave.
"Scared" means frightened or fearful. Its antonym (opposite) is "Brave," which means having or showing courage — the absence of fear.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Nervous (Option 2): Similar to scared — means anxious or apprehensive, not its opposite.
- Worried (Option 3): Means feeling anxious or uneasy — a near synonym of scared, not an antonym.
- Cautious (Option 4): Means careful to avoid danger — it implies awareness of risk, not courage. Not a direct antonym.
Examples
- “The child was scared of the dark room.”
