Question

Choose the option which means the opposite of the given word:
Turbid
a) Clear
b) Smooth
c) Bright
d) Detailed

Answer 1

Hint: Antonyms are those words that express meaning as opposed to the meaning of another word, in which case the two words are antonyms of each other.
In the given question, the word ‘turbid’ refers to ‘(of liquids) clouded as with sediment’.

Complete answer:
Let us analyze the options given to us in this question
Option (a.), 'clear', refers to ‘rid of obstructions’.
Therefore, option (a.) is correct as its meaning is antonymous to that of the given word ‘turbid’.
Option (b.), ‘smooth', refers to ‘having a surface free from roughness or bumps or ridges or irregularities’.
Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect as its meaning is not antonymous to that of the given word ‘turbid’.
Option (c.), ‘bright', refers to ‘emitting or reflecting light readily or in large amounts’.
Therefore, option (c.) is incorrect as its meaning is not antonymous to that of the given word ‘turbid’.
Option (d.), ‘detailed', refers to ‘developed or executed with care and in minute detail’.
Therefore, option (d.) is incorrect as its meaning is not antonymous to that of the given word ‘turbid’.

Note:
Sometimes the given options in a question where we have to find the opposite of the given word do not exactly mean the opposite of the given word. If this happens, we have to select the option which is the most anonymous to the meaning of the word in the question.
