    Select the most appropriate word opposite in meaning (ANTONYM) to the underlined word in the given sentence.
    Human life is transient.

    Answer & explanation

    Answer: A) permanent

    The most appropriate antonym (opposite in meaning) of the underlined word "transient" in the sentence is:
    permanent
    Transient means something that is temporary or short-lived, while permanent means something that is lasting or enduring. Therefore, "permanent" is the opposite of "transient."

    • Thrifty refers to being careful with money, unrelated to the idea of time or duration.
    • Tranquil means peaceful or calm, which also doesn't serve as an opposite to "transient."
    So, the correct antonym is "permanent."
