Question

Choose the one which best expresses the meaning of MUNDANE
A) Global
B) Worldly
C) Luxurious
D) Spiritual

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:
The meaning of mundane is ‘lacking interest or excitement; dull or boring or tedious’. And we must find the correct answer from the options given whose meaning is the same as that of mundane.
Option A) Global - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of global is ‘relating to the whole world; worldwide or international or universal’ and this is not the synonym of the word mundane because their meanings are not the same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) Worldly - is the correct answer because the meaning of worldly is ‘of or concerned with material values or ordinary life rather than a spiritual existence or earthly or mortal or temporal’ and this is the synonym of the word mundane and they can be used in place of each other because they have similar meaning. Thus, this is the correct answer.
Option C) Luxurious - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of luxurious is ‘extremely comfortable or elegant, especially when involving great expense or expensive or rich or affluent’ and this is not the synonym of the word mundane because their meanings are not same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option D) Spiritual - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of spiritual is ‘relating to or affecting the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things or inner or sacred or divine or religious’ and this is not the synonym of the word mundane because their meanings are not same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Hence, the correct answer is Option ‘ B’.

Note:Synonyms are words that have the same or similar meaning i.e. the synonym of MUNDANE is Worldly. So, the most appropriate answer is Option B and antonym are the words that are opposite in meaning. So, synonym of MUNDANE – Worldly (Option B) and antonym of MUNDANE – Spiritual (Option D). Thus, Option B is the correct answer and other options are wrong.
