Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.

The antonym of the word fertile is _________.

  • A.fecund
  • B.barren
  • C.feverish
  • D.fruitful

Answer: B

The antonym of fertile is barren.

Fertile land or a fertile mind produces abundantly; barren land produces nothing, so barren is its direct opposite.

Fecund and fruitful are synonyms of fertile, not antonyms: both mean productive. Feverish means having a fever or being frantically excited, and is chosen only because it looks like fertile; it has no opposite meaning.
