Choose the word which is opposite in meaning to the underlined word in each sentence:

My cousin is very lazy. He will not take his studies serious. His future looks quiet bleak

  • A Cloudy
  • B Cheerless
  • C Bright
  • D Huge
  • E Sturdy

The correct answer is C. Bright

In the given sentence, the word "bleak" is used to describe the future, indicating that it looks grim, dreary, or lacking in hope.

When someone's future is described as bleak, it means that it is likely to be unhappy or unpleasant.

The options provided are:

A. Cloudy:This term is generally used to describe the weather. So, it does not convey the opposite meaning of bleak in the context of someone's future.

B. Cheerless: This word is similar in meaning to bleak and does not represent the opposite.

C. Bright: This is the correct answer. "Bright" is the opposite of bleak. When a future is described as bright, it means it is promising, optimistic, and full of hope and opportunities.

D. Huge: This word refers to something being large in size and is not related to the meaning of bleak.

E. Sturdy: This term means strong and robust, which is not the opposite of bleak in the given context.

So, in the context of the sentence, the opposite of "bleak" (meaning grim or hopeless) is  Bright.
