Which word is opposite in meaning to the other three?

• A. Bold
• B. Timid
• C. Courageous
• D. Brave

Answer: (B)

This question tests recognizing antonyms—finding the word that means the opposite of the others. Bold, courageous, and brave all describe someone who is fearless or willing to face danger. Timid, on the other hand, means easily frightened or hesitant, showing a lack of courage. Because timid conveys fear while the other three convey bravery, it is the word that stands in opposition to the rest.
