Question

Choose the word opposite in meaning to the italicized word:
The influence of political broadcasts on elections is considerable.

• A. inadequate
• B. uninfluential
• C. negligible
• D. incredible

Answer 1

The correct option is C negligible

Option C: 'Considerable' means 'notably large in size or amount'.

'Negligible' means 'so small or unimportant as to be not worth considering'.

As you can see, 'negligible' means the opposite of 'considerable'.

Hence option C is correct.

Option A: 'Inadequate' means 'not sufficient or enough for a purpose'.

Option B: 'Uninfluential' means having no influence.

Option D: 'Incredible' means 'impossible to believe'.

These words do not mean the opposite of 'considerable'.

Hence options A, B and D are wrong.
