Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Answer: Perpetual

Explanation: "Transient" means lasting only a short time or temporary. "Perpetual" means continuous or lasting indefinitely. Because one denotes short duration and the other denotes continued or never-ending duration, they are antonyms.

  • Transient: lasting for a short time; temporary.

  • Perpetual: continuing without interruption; lasting indefinitely.

  • Why the other choices are incorrect:

  • Stiff: relates to rigidity or inflexibility, not duration.

  • Meaningless: relates to lack of sense or value, not to how long something lasts.

  • Noble: describes high moral qualities or social rank, not temporariness.
