Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: Antisocial
Gregarious means enjoying the company of others — sociable and fond of being in groups.
Spare — Not an antonym. 'Spare' means extra or available and does not imply avoiding social interaction.
Group — Not an antonym. 'Group' names a collection of people; it is related to what a gregarious person likes, not the opposite.
Antisocial — Correct. Describes someone who avoids social interaction or is not sociable, which is the opposite of gregarious.
Friendly — Not an antonym. 'Friendly' is similar in meaning to gregarious (sociable and pleasant).
Therefore, the word that gives the opposite meaning of 'gregarious' is 'antisocial'.
