Select the most appropriate antonym of the underlined word: She was elated about her promotion, but her colleague felt quite disheartened.

Question

Accepted Answer

The word 'elated' means extremely happy or joyful. Its antonym would be a word that means sad, downcast, or discouraged. Among the options, 'discouraged' is the opposite of 'elated', as it means lacking confidence or hope, or feeling down. The other options—'cheerful', 'proud', and 'delighted'—all have positive connotations similar to 'elated'. Therefore, 'discouraged' is the most appropriate antonym.
