Question

Choose the option which means opposite to the given word-
Hybrid
a) Mongrel
b) Purebred
c) Composite
d) Familiar
e) Ignorant

Answer 1

Hint:Hybrid means an animal or a plant that has parents of two different types (species).

Complete answer:
Some synonyms of hybrid are mixed, impure, mongrel etc. For example: A hybrid flower.
Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct answer:
Option 'a' Mongrel. Mongrel means an individual that does not belong to one officially recognised breed and is not the result of intentional breeding. For example: A mongrel, a mixed breed dog.
Option 'b' Purebred. Purebred means an individual that has only one official recognized breed. For example: A purebred dog.
Option 'c' Composite. Composite means consisting of different parts or materials. For example: A composite art.
Option 'd' Familiar. Familiar means well known to your; often seen or heard and therefore easy to recognise. For example: This dog is very familiar to my family.
Option 'e' Ignorant. Ignorant means not knowing about something. For example: Many people are ignorant of their rights.
As we have analysed all the given options, we can figure out the correct answer. The opposite of hybrid is purebred.

Hence, option 'b' is the correct option.

Note: Here, only "purebred" is the one which is somewhat related to the given word, unlike all the other options. To know the opposite of any given word, you must know the exact definition of the given word.
