Antonyms — Mark the option that is the closest opposite in meaning to ‘‘FAINT-HEARTED’’ (temperament: timid vs. brave).

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Stout-hearted

Explanation:


Given data

  • Compound adjective: FAINT-HEARTED = timid; lacking courage
  • Options: Warm-hearted; Full-blooded; Hot-blooded; Stout-hearted


Concept/Approach
The antonym must denote courage. ‘‘Stout-hearted’’ means brave and resolute, which directly opposes faint-heartedness.


Why distractors fail
Warm-hearted: kind; not about courage.Full-blooded/Hot-blooded: vigorous or passionate; still not the precise counter to ‘‘timid’’.


Final Answer
Stout-hearted
