Which word contrasts with 'fragile'?

Weak
Delicate
Sturdy
Fragile

The correct answer is: Sturdy

The word that contrasts with 'fragile' is 'sturdy.' 'Fragile' refers to something that is easily broken or damaged, indicating a lack of strength and resilience. In contrast, 'sturdy' describes something that is strong, durable, and capable of withstanding stress or impact without breaking. This inherent strength makes 'sturdy' the clear opposite of 'fragile.' Understanding this contrast can help in various contexts, such as describing materials, behaviors, or even financial situations, where one may seek stronger, more resilient options over those that are fragile and susceptible to failure.
