Question

Pick out the antonym of the underlined word: The thief's response was impulsive rather than thoughtful.

• A. sudden
• B. deliberate
• C. hasty
• D. emotional

Answer 1

Answer:

B. deliberate

The underlined word “impulsive” means acting suddenly without careful thought.

Its antonym is “deliberate”, which means careful and well thought out.

• impulsive → hasty, sudden

• deliberate → thoughtful, careful

So the opposite of impulsive is deliberate.
