Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word in the given sentence.
Israel has been a staunch ally of the United States.Answer & explanation
Answer: C) Unsteady
Answer: Unsteady
Solution:
• The underlined word "staunch" means loyal, firm, and dependable – दृढ़ या वफ़ादार.
• The antonym should convey the opposite — someone unreliable, wavering, or not firm.
• "Unsteady" means not stable or not firm in support – अस्थिर या डगमगाता हुआ, which is the correct opposite of "staunch".
Other options:
• Confused – भ्रमित (not opposite of loyal or firm)
• Careless – लापरवाह (not related to loyalty or firmness directly)
• Resolute – दृढ़निश्चयी (actually a synonym, not antonym)
So, the correct antonym of "staunch" is: Unsteady
