The patient looks a little more cheerful this morning.

Answer: (a)

'Depressed' would go as the opposite of 'cheerful' here. 'Cheerful' means 'full of good spirits' or 'pleasant' whereas 'depressed' means 'gloomy' or 'low in spirits'. Both 'cheerful' and 'depressed' refer to a state of mind or feelings. But 'dull', meaning 'tedious and uninteresting', is general in meaning. When referred to the mind and feelings, 'dull' means 'not sharp' and 'not intense' respectively.
