{'underlined word': [0, 0, 0, 20], 'debate': [0, 0, 0, 4], 'options': [1, 1, 0, 21], 'stirring': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'item': [1, 0, 1, 20], 'section': [3, 1, 0, 35], 'meaning': [1, 0, 0, 16], 'option': [2, 0, 0, 11]}

The underlined word in the sentence is "stimulating." To find the opposite meaning of "stimulating," we need to evaluate each option provided.

Option 1: "Arousing" is a synonym of "stimulating," meaning it has the same or similar meaning. Therefore, it is not the opposite.

Option 2: "Invigorating" is also similar in meaning to "stimulating," so it is not the opposite.

Option 3: "Boring" is the selected answer. It is the opposite of "stimulating" as it suggests something dull, uninteresting, or lacking in excitement.

Option 4: "Stirring" is similar in meaning to "stimulating," so it is not the opposite.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3: "boring," as it is the opposite of "stimulating."
