Question

Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word. Blistering

The correct answer is

Chilly

Chilly is correct.

Blistering means extremely hot, hot enough to raise blisters, as in "blistering heat" (figuratively, also very fierce or fast).

The opposite of extreme heat is cold, so Chilly (unpleasantly cold) is the antonym.

Scorching (very hot), Burning (on fire or very hot) and Incendiary (causing fire, or inflammatory) all carry the same idea of heat as "blistering", so they are similar in meaning, not opposite.
