    Solution

    " Benevolent " means showing kindness and goodwill. " Compassionate " shares a similar meaning, referring to showing concern for others and wanting to help them. (1) Malevolent: This means having or showing a wish to do evil to others, which is the opposite of benevolent. (2) Indifferent: This means having no particular interest or sympathy, which is unrelated to being benevolent. (4) Hostile: This refers to showing or feeling opposition or dislike, which is contrary to benevolent.
