- Bprominent
- Cthrilling
- Deager
Explanation
‘Exhilarating’ means thrillingly exciting — producing lively, euphoric excitement, as a World Cup win would. ‘Thrilling’ is the direct synonym. ‘Peaceful’ is an antonym, ‘prominent’ means notable, and ‘eager’ means keen — none captures the excitement. Hence ‘thrilling’ is nearest in meaning.
