Brief Explanations

An antonym clue uses an opposite - meaning word to help define another word. In the sentence "The former king was adored by the people for his reasonable decisions, but the new king was disliked for his arbitrary decisions", "adored" and "disliked" are antonyms, and "reasonable" and "arbitrary" are also antonyms. This helps the reader understand the meaning of "arbitrary" as the opposite of "reasonable". The other sentences do not use antonym clues.

Answer:

The former king was adored by the people for his reasonable decisions, but the new king was disliked for his arbitrary decisions
