Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer:

Synonyms for "quiet" are often grouped by whether they describe the absence of sound, a calm atmosphere, or even a reserved personality. Let's take a look at some of these terms.

"Silent," "soundless," and "inaudible" all suggest a total lack of noise, where "silent" and "soundless" mean at the most simple level that no sound is being made and "inaudible" describes something too soft to be heard. Next, "hushed" suggests people lowering their voices, "muted" implies sound that's reduced in volume or intensity, "muffled" refers to sound that is blocked or dampened, and "subdued" indicates something quieted or toned down (and can apply emotionally as well).

In terms of being in a calm atmosphere, "peaceful" emphasizes freedom from noise or conflict, "tranquil" suggests gentle calmness, "serene" implies a deep, undisturbed stillness, and "placid" describes calmness even in the face of pressure. "Still" and "quiescent" both suggest total inactivity, where "still" emphasizes motionlessness and "quiescent" refers to a temporary state of quiet or dormancy.

Behavior-wise, "sedate" typically means calm and composed with a slow, dignified pace. Finally, "taciturn" describes a person who speaks very little, not from shyness but from choice.

The other terms were all antonyms for the word "quiet."
