Choose the word or group of words which is most opposite in meaning to the…

Answer: Reserved

Meaning: Ostentatious describes something or someone showy, pretentious, or designed to attract notice.

Why Reserved is the opposite:

• Reserved means modest, unassuming, discreet, or not inclined to draw attention — directly contrasting with being showy or flamboyant.

Brief elimination of the other choices:

• Nescient means ignorant or lacking knowledge, which is unrelated to being showy or modest.

• Awkward refers to clumsiness or social discomfort, not modesty or restraint.

• Bankrupt means financially insolvent, which does not express the opposite of showy behavior.

Synonyms for ostentatious: showy, pretentious, flamboyant, gaudy.

Antonyms (including the correct choice): modest, reserved, discreet, understated, plain.

Example: Instead of making an ostentatious display of her wealth, she remained reserved and let her work speak for itself.
