Question

Choose the word which is closest to the opposite in meaning to the italicized word.
That was an exquisite piece of art which won the admiration of one and all.

• A. ugly
• B. cheap
• C. old
• D. expensive

Answer 1

The correct option is A ugly

Exquisite means extremely beautiful and delicate. The opposite of exquisite is ugly, or unpleasant or repulsive, especially in appearance. Hence, Option A is correct. Among the rest of the options, cheap means low in price, especially in relation to similar items or services, old means having lived for a long time, expensive means costing a lot of money. These do not express this antonym, hence incorrect.
