Question

The antonym of the word underlined at [1] is?

• A. Famous
• B. Unpopular
• C. Happy
• D. Gentle

Answer 1

The correct option is B Unpopular

The underlined word, 'popular', here means 'Regarded with great favour or approval'. Thus, its antonym must mean 'regarded with disapproval or disfavour'.

Option A is incorrect. Famous has a similar meaning to popular. Thus, it cannot be the correct answer.

Option B is correct. Unpopular means 'regarded with disapproval'. Thus, it has the required meaning and is the correct option.

Option C is incorrect. Happy means 'filled with joy'. Thus, it does not have the required meaning.

Option D is incorrect. Gentle means 'kind' or 'soft'. Thus, it is not the correct answer.
