      A scattered Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B distributed Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C gathered Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D unclear Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Gathered (highlighted word): In this context, "gathered" means to come together in one place, especially in large numbers. The onlookers gathered in a large number initially.   Options:   (a) Scattered: This is the correct antonym for "gathered." "Scattered" means to disperse or spread out in different directions, which contrasts with the idea of coming together. (b) Distributed: This is not the opposite of "gathered." "Distributed" refers to the act of spreading or giving out in different places. (c) Gathered: This is the synonym for the highlighted word and not the antonym. (d) Unclear: This option is unrelated to the concept of coming together or dispersing.
