Correct Answer Explanation
BLITHE means cheerfully carefree and lighthearted. Its antonym is grave, which means serious, solemn, or somber in manner. 'Conceited' means arrogant. 'Dim' means not bright. 'Sturdy' means strong. Only 'grave' directly contrasts with the lighthearted, carefree nature of 'blithe.'
