Choose the word which is closest to the opposite in meaning to the italicized word.

• B. casual
• C. timid

Answer 1

The correct option is D moderate

Among the rest of the options, ordinary means with no special or distinctive features, casual means relaxed and unconcerned, timid means showing a lack of courage or confidence. These options do not express this antonym, hence incorrect
