Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word to fill in the blank.
ELATED
He became severely ______ after his mother's death.
Answer: A
The antonym of 'elated' is 'depressed'. Elated means very happy and excited. After a mother's death a person becomes severely depressed, meaning deeply sad, which is the opposite of elated and fits the sentence. 'Delighted' and 'ecstatic' mean happy or overjoyed, so they are close in meaning to elated rather than opposite. 'Proud' is a different feeling again and does not suit a bereavement.
