Antonym of 'Cool' is :


Options:

  1. Cold
  2. Colder
  3. Hot
  4. Warmer

Right Answer: Hot

The correct answer is 'Hot'. An antonym is a word opposite in meaning, and the natural opposite of 'cool' on the temperature scale is 'hot'. 'Cold' is not the best answer because cold and cool lie on the same side of the scale, cold being simply a more intense degree of coolness. 'Colder' and 'warmer' are comparative forms, and a positive degree word should be matched with another word in the positive degree. Since the question asks for a direct opposite of the same degree, 'Hot' is correct.
