Directions: Choose the word that is the most opposite in meaning to the given word.

HASTY

The word 'hasty' means done or acting quickly, rashly, or without sufficient consideration - impulsive. The direct opposite is 'patient,' which means showing calmness, self-control, and willingness to wait. 'Restless' means unable to rest or relax, 'swift' means fast (similar to hasty), and 'rash' means hasty/impulsive (a synonym). Therefore, 'patient' is the correct antonym as it represents the quality of being deliberate and measured rather than rushed.
