Question

Read the sentences. Then, use antonym clues to determine the meaning of gregarious. I invited my gregarious friend mateo to the party. He’s very different from his brother alejandro, who is quiet and shy. What does the word gregarious mean? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:

Outgoing and sociable are the correct answers

Answer 2

social, talkative, loud, outgoing

Any of these words would work as synonyms to gregarious. The antonym clues from the sentences are "quiet and shy". The sentences describe Mateo as gregarious AND the opposite of his brother. Since his brother is described as "quiet and shy", we know that Mateo is the opposite of quiet and shy. Loud and outgoing are the direct opposites of quiet and shy, but there are many other words that can mean the same thing.
