Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation:
LANKY — Tall and thin with long, slender limbs.
Brawny — Muscular and heavily built; rugged and powerful.
Why 'Brawny' is the best antonym:
Lanky describes thinness and long limbs; brawny describes a broad, muscular build. These directly contrast in terms of body build, making brawny the opposite.
Why the other choices are incorrect:
Funky — Means unconventional or stylish; unrelated to body build.
Stable — Means steady or firmly fixed; not an antonym of lanky.
Trendy — Means fashionable; does not contrast with the meaning of lanky.
Conclusion: "Brawny" is the correct antonym of "Lanky" because it denotes a heavy, muscular build opposite to tall and thin.
