Question

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word:   
He was very cruel in dealing with the students.

Underlined word: cruel

Accepted Answer

The word 'cruel' means causing pain or suffering to others. The antonym is a word with the opposite meaning. Among the options, 'Kind' means being gentle, caring, and considerate, which is the opposite of cruel. 'Skittish' means nervous or easily frightened, 'Malevolent' means having or showing a wish to do evil, and 'Kingly' relates to a king or royal, none of which are antonyms of 'cruel'. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Kind'.
