Choose the most appropriate antonym of the underlined word to fill in the blank in the following sentence:

She led a ______ life in the country, away from the hustle bustle of the city life

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Option 1 -> "Tranquil" means calm and peaceful, which is the direct antonym of "hustle" (busy, noisy, chaotic).

Option 2 -> "Align" means to arrange in a straight line or bring into agreement; it's not related to the concept of hustle/bustle.

Option 3 -> "Disturbed" means agitated or troubled, which is similar to hustle/bustle rather than opposite.

Option 4 -> "Turbulent" means chaotic and unstable, which is synonymous with hustle/bustle, not an antonym.


Hence, Option 1: tranquil -> The sentence contrasts peaceful country life with the busy, noisy city life, making "tranquil" (calm, peaceful) the perfect antonym of "hustle" -> correct
