Question

Choose the option which is opposite of the given word:
Transparent
a. Translucent
b. Vague
c. Blind
d. Opaque

Answer 1

Hint: The meaning of Transparent – It is an adjective given to a material that allows light to pass through it completely and the object on the other side is seen clearly.
The opposite should mean something that blocks light from passing through it and hence the object on the other side is not visible.

Complete solution:
Option a ‘Translucent’ is an adjective given to a material that allows light to pass through it but it is semi transparent which means the object on the other side is vaguely visible. This option is not the correct option as it does not relate to the meaning of the given word’s opposite.
Option b ‘Vague’ is an adjective given to something that is hazy or unclear. This option does not conform with the meaning of the opposite of the given word. So, this option is not the correct option.
Option c ‘Blind’ is an adjective given to a living thing which means someone who is incapable to see. This option is not the correct option as it does not connect to the meaning of the opposite of the word given.
Option d ‘Opaque’ is an adjective given to a material which does not allow light to pass through it and creates an obstruction to see the object on the other side of it. Thus, this option perfectly matches the meaning of the opposite of the word given. So, this option is the correct option.

Note: The option c ‘Blind’ is an adjective used for people or animals while the other options are used for non-living things.
