Question

Antonyms QS:
She always organises (lavish) parties on birthdays.
(a) frugal (b) decent (c) cheap (d) strange​

Answer 1

The antonyms of lavish will be an option (c) cheap.

• Antonyms mean opposite. This means, in essence, that the two words should not be understood in the same sense, but rather that their meanings should be completely different from one another.
• The word 'lavish' means to spend a huge amount of money whereas on the other hand the word 'cheap' suggest a low amount of money. So, here both words are completely opposite to each other. Lavish means something which is expensive, large and quality-wise too nice and cheap is economical, small and quality-wise not good.
• The other given options are not the antonyms of the word lavish as for the words to be antonyms they are required to have a literary meaning which is opposite of one another.
