Choose the correct antonym of the following underlined word:

The chairman's little joke provided a rare moment of levity in an otherwise dreary meeting.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

'Levity' means humour or lack of seriousness. Its antonym is 'gravity', meaning seriousness or solemnity. 'Buoyancy' and 'lightness' are close in meaning to levity itself, and 'volatility' refers to instability, not seriousness.
