Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation: Dogmatic describes someone who asserts opinions as incontrovertibly true and is rigid or uncompromising.

  • Why "reasonable" is the antonym: "Reasonable" describes a person who is fair-minded, open to evidence, willing to consider other viewpoints, and prepared to change their opinion when warranted. These traits are the opposite of being dogmatic.

  • Why "militant" is not the antonym: "Militant" means combative or aggressively supportive of a cause; it does not convey openness to other views and can be similarly uncompromising.

  • Why "expectant" is not the antonym: "Expectant" means awaiting or anticipating something and is unrelated to being rigid or flexible in beliefs.

  • Why "rigorous" is not the antonym: "Rigorous" means strict or thorough. That can align with being exacting or uncompromising, so it is not opposite to dogmatic.
