Choose the option opposite in meaning to the underlined word(s).The workers suddenly became restive?
Answer Details
The option opposite in meaning to "restive" is "calm".
"Restive" means to be restless, uneasy, or anxious, and can refer to a state of dissatisfaction or resistance. Therefore, if the workers suddenly became restive, it means they became restless or dissatisfied and were potentially showing signs of resistance to the situation.
On the other hand, "calm" means to be peaceful, relaxed, and composed, with no signs of agitation or anxiety. So if the workers were calm, they would be displaying no signs of restlessness or resistance, and would be acting in a peaceful and composed manner.
