(A) hunched
(B) strong
(C) simple
(D) simian
The antonym of “sapient” is:
(C) simple
Here’s why:
- Sapient means having or showing intelligence and wisdom.
- Hunched describes a physical posture and isn’t related to intelligence.
- Strong describes physical power and doesn’t have an opposite meaning related to intelligence.
- Simian means relating to or resembling apes, also not related to intelligence.
- Simple means lacking complexity or sophistication, which is the opposite of being intelligent and wise.
Therefore, “simple” best captures the opposite meaning of “sapient.”
