Antonyms Hostile

Answer: Friendly

Explanation: "Hostile" means aggressive, unfriendly, or antagonistic. The opposite of hostile is "friendly," which means kind, pleasant, and supportive toward others.

Why the other choices are not correct:

• "Generous" means willing to give or share; it is unrelated to being the opposite of hostile.

• "Powerful" refers to strength or influence and does not describe friendliness versus hostility.

• "Cruel" means intentionally causing pain or suffering; it is similar in negativity to hostile rather than being its antonym.
