Answer
Correct Answer: Mobile
Explanation
Given data
- Headword: stationary — motionless; not moving (note: not stationery, which means writing materials).
- Options: Active, Mobile, Rapid, Busy
Concept/ApproachThe strict antonym must communicate the ability to move, not merely being occupied or fast.
Option analysisMobile: capable of movement; direct opposite of stationary. ✅Active/Busy: imply engagement, not necessarily motion. ❌Rapid: fast speed, not simply the opposite of motionless. ❌
Common pitfallsConfusing active with motion and mixing up stationary with stationery. The question tests movement, so mobile is best.
