Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word.

BUOYANT

This question was previously asked in
HTET 2025 Level 1 PRT Question Paper (5-Jul-2026)
The correct answer is

Gloomy

"Buoyant" describes a cheerful, optimistic, and lighthearted mood or state.

"Gloomy" describes a dejected, dull, or downcast mood, making it the direct opposite of "buoyant".

"Cheerful" and "bouncy" are close in meaning to "buoyant" rather than opposite, and "neutral" does not indicate an opposing mood.
