Question

In the following question, choose the word which is most nearly the OPPOSITE in meaning.
Ductile

Options

• virtuous 

• grotesque

• contentious

• stubborn

Answer 1

Ductile means easily led or influenced. Its opposite should be stubborn as it means difficult to handle, manage, or treat. Virtuous means to have or show high moral standards. Grotesque means strange and unpleasant. And contentious means likely to cause an argument.
Therefore, 'stubborn' is the correct option.
