Question

Choose the word opposite in meaning to the given word.
COMMODIOUS
A) Limited
B) Expensive
C) Numerous
D) Leisurely

Answer 1

Hint: Antonyms are the words that are opposite in meaning to another. The root words for the word 'antonym' are the words 'anti' meaning 'against' or 'opposite' and 'onym' meaning 'name’. For instance: the antonym of ‘hot’ is ‘cold’.

Complete answer:
The meaning of the word commodious is ‘roomy and comfortable or ample or capacious’. So, as per the question we must find the word which is opposite in meaning to the word commodious.
Option A) Limited - is the correct answer because the meaning of limited is ‘restricted in size, amount, or extent; few, small, or short or bounded’ and this is the antonym of the word commodious as they have different meanings or they are opposite in meaning to each other. Thus, this is the correct answer.
Option B) Expensive - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of expensive is ‘costing a lot of money or high-priced or big-budget’ and this is not antonym of the word commodious. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) Numerous - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of numerous is ‘great in number; many or countless or many’ and this is not antonym of the word commodious. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option D) Leisurely - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of leisurely is ‘acting or done at leisure; unhurried or relaxed or easy or gentle or relaxed’ and this is not antonym of the word commodious. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Hence, the correct answer is Option ‘ A’.

Note:Antonyms are the words that are opposite to each other i.e. antonyms of COMMODIOUS are limited and synonyms are the words that are similar in meaning. So, the synonym of the word COMMODIOUS is spacious or ample. Thus, Option A is the most appropriate answer as compared to the other options.
