    Solution

    EXPLANATION: "Melancholic" is an adjective that describes a feeling of deep, pensive sadness or a gloomy state of mind. Therefore, the word nearest in meaning is "Sad" because both convey a sense of sorrow or unhappiness. "Jubilant" means extremely joyful or happy, "Serious" refers to a lack of humor or levity, and "Frustrated" is characterized by feelings of irritation or disappointment, making them less closely related to the meaning of "Melancholic."
