Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

humble
The sentence uses the concessive conjunction 'Although' to contrast the manager's character with that of his assistant. Since the manager is described as 'arrogant' (overly proud and boastful), the assistant must be described with a word opposite in meaning. The word 'humble' (or 'modest') directly expresses the opposite quality of humility.

2
Analyze the sentence structure to determine the required relationship.
The conjunction 'Although' signals a contrast between the manager's negative trait ('arrogant') and the assistant's positive trait.
The sentence context demands a word that is opposite in meaning to 'arrogant'.

Select an appropriate antonym to fill the blank.
The word 'humble' (or 'modest') means having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's importance, which is the direct opposite of 'arrogant'.
