Choose the option opposite in meaning to the underlined word(s).In the latter part of his life, the famous soldier showed signs of youthfulness?
Answer Details
The opposite in meaning to the underlined word "youthfulness" is "senility." "Youthfulness" means having the characteristics of youth, such as vigor, vitality, and energy. On the other hand, "senility" means showing the signs of aging and deterioration of physical and mental abilities. Therefore, option B, "senility," is the correct answer as it is the opposite of "youthfulness." Option A, "energy," and option D, "vitality," are synonyms of "youthfulness" and do not represent the opposite meaning. Option C, "bravery," is irrelevant in this context and does not convey the sense of youthfulness.
