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.
