In each of the following sentences, there is one underlined word and one gap. From the list of words lettered A to D, choose the one that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentence.
The baby who had all along been calm suddenly became _________
"calm" implies a state of tranquillity. The opposite if this would be a state of agitation or the inability to remain still, which is "restless". "Hungry" and "angry" do not directly oppose "calm" as they describe specific needs or emotions. "Cheerful" is a positive state of happiness and not the opposite of calm.
