Answer 1

Hint: Synonyms are the words that have the same or similar meaning and to avoid repetition synonyms are used. For example, the synonym of beautiful is pretty and adorable.

Complete answer:
We must find the meaning of dirty and unkept and the meaning of words that are given in the options. And both the words should have the same meaning or the exact sense.
The meaning of dirty and unkept is ‘messy, untidy, or unclean. And we must find the correct answer from the options given whose meaning is the same as dirty and unkept.
Option A) Simple – This is an incorrect option because the meaning of Simple is plain, basic, or uncomplicated in form, nature, or design; without much decoration or ornamentation. and this is not the synonym of the word dirty and unkept because their meanings are not the same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) Scruffy – This is a correct option because the meaning of scruffy is shabby and untidy or dirty. The definition of scruffy is someone or something that is unkempt and untidy. and this is the synonym of the word destroyed and they can be used in place of each other because they have a similar meaning. Thus, this is the correct answer.
Option C) Sharp - This is an incorrect option because the meaning of Sharp is suddenly or abruptly, (of an object) having an edge or point that can cut or pierce something. and this is not the synonym of the word dirty and unkept because their meanings are not the same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option D) Blunt – This is an incorrect option because the meaning of Blunt is not having a sharp edge or point. and this is not the synonym of the word dirty and unkept because their meanings are not the same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Hence, the correct answer is option ‘B’.

So, the most appropriate answer is Option B and antonym are the words that are opposite in meaning and the antonym of dirty and unkept is clean and tidy. Thus, Option B is the correct answer and other options are wrong.
