Question

Replace the underlined adverb in the following sentence with its antonym.
He rarely helps the poor.

• A. Casually
• B. Usually
• C. Frequently
• D. Totally

Answer 1

The correct option is C Frequently

The adverb, 'rarely' means 'not often' or 'seldom'. The opposite of the word should mean 'often'. The word, 'frequently' means 'often'. Option C is the correct answer.

The word 'casually' means 'in a relaxed and informal way'. The word, 'usually' means 'generally' or 'under normal circumstances'. The word, 'totally' means 'completely'. As the meanings of these three words is quite different from that of the underlined adverb, 'rarely', options A, B and D are incorrect.
