I need antonyms for these words please?

Question

My daughter has homework that I just can't figure it out.

She has to use these words: Content, Rude, Shy, Terrified, Boisterous, Stupendous, Cantankerous and Good.

And the 5 words to match them to are: Honest, Careful, Best, Reduces and Interesting.

If anyone can help matching the antonyms together I would greatly appreciate it.

Answer 1

There must be some mistake.

I can not see in the first group any antonyms (opposites) to words in the second group.

Answer 2

You have 8 words (none of which are synonyms) and 5 presumed

antonyms.  Besides the fact that none of the 5 is an antonym of any

of the 8, the disparity in numbers should tell you that this assignment

is screwed up.  

Answer 3

There is something wrong there: for a start you can't find separate antonyms for eight words from a list of five words.

Just as suggestions if she wants something to show at class:

'content'  -  'discontented'

'rude' - 'polite' ( or 'elegant' in a slightly different sense of 'rude' )

'shy' - 'bold'

'terrified' - 'fearless' ( or 'terrifying', perhaps)

'boisterous' - 'reserved' ( or 'withdrawn' perhaps)

'cantankerous' -  'ameliorative' ( or 'even-tempered', perhaps )

'good' - 'bad'

It is a mess of a question, and as it stands no one should be expected to answer it.

[ It does strike me as quite important that pupils learn for themselves that teachers and parents aren't infallible. That is part of growing up. ]

Answer 4

I love helping my kids with their homework....when I can understand it...lol

You can get an Antonym Dictionary that will really help you out.  Try going to http://www.easy-link.org/antonymdictiona...     That should help you.

Answer 5

None of these words match. You may need to check the homework again.
