Question

Choose the word opposite in meaning to the italicized word:
People who are actually running the system often take a myopic view of the situation.

• A. blind
• B. visionary
• C. glassy
• D. farsighted

Answer 1

The correct option is D farsighted

Option D: 'Myopic' means 'vision in which a person can only see nearby objects clearly', 'lacking foresight or intellectual insight'.

'Farsighted' means 'having or showing imagination or foresight'.

As you can see, 'farsighted' means the opposite of 'myopic'.

Hence option D is correct.

Option A: 'Blind' means 'unable to see, either temporarily or permanently'.

Option B: 'Visionary' means 'thinking about or planning the future with imagination or wisdom'.

Option C: 'Glassy' means 'showing no interest or expression'.

These words do not mean the opposite of the italicized word 'myopic'.

Hence options A, B and C are wrong.
