Question

Choose the word opposite in meaning to the given word-
Sublime
a) Strange
b) Low
c) Ridiculous
d) Mean

Answer 1

Hint: The word 'sublime' which refers to - an extremely high quality that makes you admire something very much. The word is mostly used as an adjective but sometimes also as a noun.

Complete answer:
  Sublime is often used as an adjective. An antonym for 'sublime' is 'ordinary', in general language. Here, we have to find its antonym from among the four given options. Antonym is a word that has the opposite meaning to the other word, in the same language. They have the meaning opposite to the word. For eg. The word 'laugh' and 'cry' are antonyms to each other, as they convey opposite meanings.
The word sublime can be used in a sentence as there is but one step from the sublime to the ridiculous.
We will look at each options carefully and try to find out the meaning of each option and figure out the answer:
Option 'a' is strange which means unusual or unexpected. For eg. A strange noise came from his house when we were passing by.
Option 'b' is low which means close to the ground or to the bottom of something. For eg. Hang the clothes a little higher from the ground, it’s too low.
Option 'c' is ridiculous which means very silly or reasonable. For eg. His ridiculous behavior was a little strange for everyone present there.
Option 'd' is mean which means to express, show, or have as a meaning. For eg. What does that sign mean?
After analyzing each option carefully, we came to the point that option 'b' is the correct answer. So the word opposite to “sublime” is “low”.

Note:
 All the other options are either plausible distractions, or they are not related to the given word. They have a different context and different meanings.
