Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Chaste

Explanation: The word lecherous refers to someone who shows excessive or offensive sexual desire; lustful and immoral. Passionate ❌ – Means showing strong feelings or enthusiasm, not opposite of lecherous. Dirty ❌ – Is closer in meaning to lecherous, not its antonym. Nasty ❌ – Means unpleasant or mean, again not the opposite. Chaste ✅ – Means pure, virtuous, and morally clean, which is the exact opposite of lecherous.
