Question

Choose the antonym of the word given below:
Debonair
a) Awkward
b) Windy
c) Balmy
d) sportive

Answer 1

Hint: We know that the word given in the question is an adjective and means ‘someone who is confident, stylish, and charming.’ Debonair is used in a sentence like: "All the men looked debonair and handsome in white tie and tails"

Complete answer:
Antonyms or opposites are the words that have a contrasting meaning to the given word. So to find the antonym of Debonair, which means confident and stylish, we need to look for a word which means ‘not confident or not stylish’
Now we shall look at all the options one by one.
Option ‘a’, awkward is an adjective which means ‘not smooth or graceful or ungainly.’
The second option, windy, is also an adjective which means ‘nervous or anxious about something.’
We know that balmy, option c, an adjective is explained as ‘characterized by pleasantly warm weather.’
And lastly, option d, sportive, means ‘playful or light-hearted.’
From the explanations of all the options above we can deduce that option ‘a’, awkward, has its definition nearest to the antonym of the word given to us in the question, ‘debonair’.
Hence option a is the correct answer, whereas the rest of the alternatives, option b, option c, and option d are not correct.

Note:
 The tricky part of this question is to be able to differentiate between the words and understanding what they mean in the given context because they might mean something different in another context.
