Select the word opposite in meaning to the given word: Irascible

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Option 1: Affordable -> means inexpensive or reasonably priced; unrelated to temperament or mood.

Option 2: Irritable -> means easily annoyed or angered; this is actually a synonym of irascible, not an antonym.

Option 3: Refutable -> means capable of being disproven; unrelated to personality traits or temperament.

Option 4: Amiable -> means friendly, pleasant, and good-natured; this is the direct opposite of irascible (quick-tempered).


Hence, Option 4: Amiable -> Irascible describes someone who is easily angered or hot-tempered, while amiable describes someone who is friendly and pleasant-natured, making them perfect antonyms -> correct
