Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Answer: significant is the opposite of frivolous.

  • Meaning of frivolous: not serious, trivial, or lacking importance.

  • Why "significant" is the opposite: "significant" means important or serious, which directly contrasts with the idea of being frivolous.

  • Why the other choices are incorrect:

  • trivial — has a similar meaning to frivolous (a synonym), so it is not the antonym.

  • fearless — means lacking fear or being bold; this is unrelated to seriousness versus triviality.

  • permissive — means lenient or tolerant, which does not contrast with being frivolous.
