Question

Choose the word opposite in meaning to the given word: QUIESCENT 

• A. Active
• B. Dormant
• C. Weak
• D. Unconcerned
• E.

Hint:

To find the opposite, look for words that describe the opposite of inaction or rest. "Active" directly contrasts with "quiescent."

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

1. "Quiescent" comes from the Latin "quies," meaning rest or stillness.
2. "Dormant" is close in meaning to "quiescent" rather than its opposite, "weak" concerns strength rather than rest, and "unconcerned" describes an attitude, not a state of rest.
3. "Active" names the direct opposite state of motion and engagement.

So the correct answer is (A) Active.
