Correct answer: C

Answer: Comic

Explanation:

Meaning: "Tragic" describes something very sad, disastrous, or causing great sorrow.

  • Why "Comic" is correct: "Comic" means humorous or causing laughter, which is opposite in tone and emotional effect to something "tragic."

  • Why the other choices are incorrect: "Boring" means uninteresting; "Mysterious" means puzzling or unknown; "Incredulous" means skeptical. None of these directly oppose the sadness/disaster implied by "tragic."

Example: A tragic play makes the audience feel sorrow, while a comic play aims to make the audience laugh.

Related antonyms: comic, humorous, lighthearted, joyful.
