Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word to fill in the blank.
The brother was very timid and bashful in public, whereas the sister was ____________ and poised.
Answer: D
Confident is the antonym of timid. The sentence contrasts a timid, bashful brother with a sister who is poised, so the blank needs the opposite of timid, which is confident. Submissive and weary describe passivity or tiredness, and grumpy describes mood; none of these is the opposite of timid. Timid means shy and lacking courage, and the sentence contrasts it with poised, so the antonym that makes the contrast is confident, which means self-assured.
