Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation: Determine the word opposite in meaning to INANE.
INANE - showing a lack of intelligence or thought; silly, empty, or pointless.
Friendly — showing kindness or pleasant behaviour. This does not oppose inane; friendliness is unrelated to being sensible or thoughtful.
Timid — showing fear or lack of confidence. This is not an antonym of inane.
Insipid — lacking flavor, interest, or vigor. This is similar in meaning to inane (both suggest lack of substance), so it is not the opposite.
Keen — mentally sharp, eager, or showing strong interest. This contrasts with inane’s emptiness or silliness and therefore serves as the correct antonym.
Therefore, Keen is the correct choice because it directly contrasts with the emptiness or silliness expressed by inane.
