Choose the word closest in meaning to the underlined word from the given options:-

His tepid response to all the proposed activities, dampened our spirits.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Tepid literally means lukewarm and figuratively means lacking enthusiasm. Since his response dampened everyone's spirits, 'unenthusiastic' is the closest meaning. 'Overwhelming', 'excited', and 'angry' contradict or miss this sense.
