Directions: In each of the questions below, a sentence has been broken into four parts with one word highlighted in bold in each fragment. From the given options, identify the word which expresses a meaning opposite to the given sentence, with the highlighted word replaced by a word of the opposite meaning. This work of charity (A)/ has given me so much of pleasure (B)/ and made me fabled (C)/ around the world.(D)
Options
- AA- act
- BB- content
- CC - obscure
- DD - contest
Correct answer
C. C - obscure
Step-by-step solution
Only option C 'obscure' (not known) is opposite of fabled (famous). Thus changes the meaning of the sentence. Rest of the options denote the synonyms of those bold ones except Option D which is not a relevant word to the corresponding word in bold. Hence option C is the correct answer.
