Answer 1

Hint: Two things which are completely different from each other are called the opposite words. So that if one is true or valid the other must be untrue or invalid i.e. Good – Bad.

Complete answer:
The word sophisticated means: the one who has a lot of experience of the world, someone who knows fashion; culture, etc. This word is also used for machines, systems, etc.
Now let’s examine and understand the given option above.
 Rural: The word rural means: relating to farming, countryside, rustic, agriculture, etc. This option is inappropriate for the given question.
 Opposite: City, Town, etc.
 Example: My uncle often leaves the city to go hunt game in rural area.
Civil: The word civil means: ordinary citizen and their concerns, connected with the state or the people who live in a country, courteous, etc. This option is inappropriate for the given question.
Opposite: rude, religious, etc.
Example: He greeted a civil good morning.
Domestic: The word domestic means: within one country, not international, when we talk about family and home, connected, not public, etc. This option is inappropriate for the given question.
Opposite: international, foreign, etc.

Rustic: Here the word rustic has exactly the opposite meaning. Rustic: The word rustic means: countryside and country life or rural, agricultural life, or the one who lives in a village and simple person, doesn’t know about fashion, etc. This option is absolutely appropriate for the given question. So the suitable opposite word will be option [A] Rustic.
