Q12. Write Adjectives opposite in meaning to the following:
a) barren b) attractive
c) friendly d) humble
Answers
Explanation:
ANSWER
"Affable" is an adjective that means being friendly and good-natured.
Option B is correct. The word "rude" means being ill-mannered and disrespectful. Its meaning is completely opposite to "affable", and is thus, correct.
Option A is incorrect as it is an entirely different word. The word "reckless" means being careless and hasty. Its antonym is "careful" or "cautious".
Option C is incorrect as it is an entirely different word. The word "ungrateful" is an adjective that means "not showing gratitude". Its antonym would be "grateful".
Option D is incorrect as it is, again, an entirely different word. "Responsible" means having an obligation to do something or having control over the care for someone (such as parents being responsible for the care of their children). It's antonym is "irresponsible".
Answer:
a) fertile b) unattractive c) unfriendly d) meek
