Explanation

Glib means fluent and voluble but insincere or superficial. A glib remark is casual, shallow, and lacks thoughtful consideration. 'Judicious statement' is the opposite - careful, wise, and well-considered. 'Hasty retort' is similar to glib, while 'anxious question' and 'indecisive comment' don't represent opposites.
