Show Solution
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
- Flimsy and sturdy are direct opposites describing physical strength.
- Prognosis/diagnosis are related medical terms, not opposites; gauche/eloquent is a weaker, less precise opposite pair; drizzle/downpour differ only in degree of the same thing.
- Flippant (unserious) and earnest (serious) form the same clean, direct-opposite relationship as flimsy and sturdy.
The correct answer is flippant : earnest.
