Which of the following is the opposite of 'audible'?

Quiet
Silent
Hushed
Subtle

The correct answer is: Silent

The term 'audible' refers to something that can be heard or is capable of being heard. Therefore, the opposite would be a word that describes something that cannot be heard. The choice indicating 'silent' directly conveys the lack of sound, making it a perfect antonym of 'audible.' While 'quiet' and 'hushed' suggest a reduction in sound levels, they do not necessarily imply a complete absence of sound. Both can refer to environments or conditions that are mostly sound-free but may still allow for some level of noise. 'Subtle' typically refers to something that is fine, delicate, or understated, and does not relate to sound at all. Thus, 'silent' stands out as the most accurate answer to represent the opposite of 'audible' in this context.
