Choose the word opposite in meaning to the one given below: Mobile

Key idea: "Mobile" means able to move or moving.

• Stationary = not moving or fixed in place — this is the correct antonym.

• Fluctuating = changing or varying; it implies movement or variation but not 'not moving', so it is not the opposite.

• Errant = wandering or straying; although it involves movement, it does not mean stationary, so it is not an antonym.

• Stative = a linguistic term for verbs that describe states rather than actions; it does not mean 'not moving' and is not the opposite of 'mobile'.

Therefore, "Stationary" is the correct antonym of "Mobile".

Note: don't confuse "stationary" (not moving) with "stationery" (paper).
