Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: Patient
Explanation: "Restive" describes someone who is restless or impatient. The opposite meaning is being able to wait calmly.
Therefore, "Patient" is the correct antonym.
Why the other choices are incorrect:
Rigorous means thorough or strict; it does not convey the opposite of impatience.
Deceptive means misleading or dishonest; unrelated to restlessness.
Active means energetic; it is not an antonym of being impatient or restless.
