Answer 1

The correct answer is: Compliant

Key Points

Rowdy means a lively and often boisterous environment or group of people who are loud, disorderly, and may engage in rowdy or rough behaviour. (एक जीवंत और अक्सर शोरगुल वाला वातावरण या ऐसे लोगों का समूह जो शोर मचाते हैं, अव्यवस्थित होते हैं और उपद्रवी या असभ्य व्यवहार में संलग्न हो सकते हैं)
- For example- The rowdy group of friends laughed and sang loudly as they celebrated their team's victory in the crowded stadium.
Compliant describes a classroom that is well-behaved and follows rules. (एक कक्षा जो अच्छा व्यवहार करती हो और नियमों का पालन करती हो)
- For example- In a compliant classroom, students obediently follow rules and instructions, creating a harmonious learning environment.
The sentence suggests that the classroom is noisy and disorderly, so a compliant classroom would be the opposite.
In this case, 'compliant' is the best antonym.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'option 1.'

Additional Information

Chattering is not the best antonym because it describes a classroom that is talking a lot, but not necessarily misbehaving. (एक कक्षा जो बहुत सारी बातें कर रही है, लेकिन जरूरी नहीं कि वह दुर्व्यवहार भी कर रही हो)
Disorderly is a synonym of rowdy, not an antonym because it refers to a situation, place, or behaviour that is chaotic, untidy, or not well-controlled. (ऐसी स्थिति, स्थान या व्यवहार जो अराजक, अव्यवस्थित या अच्छी तरह से नियंत्रित न हो)
Noisy is a similar word to rowdy, but not an antonym because it refers to a situation or environment that is filled with loud and often disruptive sounds. (ऐसी स्थिति या वातावरण जो तेज़ और अक्सर विघटनकारी ध्वनियों से भरा होता है)
