Fantastic

d) Economical

Answer 1

Hint: The word ‘fantastic’ is an adjective that refers to something that is extremely good or attractive. For example, “The Halloween part was fantastic.”

Complete answer:
 Let us look decipher the meaning of the given words and choose the most appropriate synonym of the word fantastic. Option a ‘illusion’ is a noun that means something that is misleading or deceiving to our senses. For example, ‘Mirage’ is an optical illusion. This is not similar in meaning to the given word ‘fantastic’. Thus. Option ‘a’ is incorrect.
Option b ‘real’ is an adjective that refers to something that actually exists and is not something that is supposed, assumed, or imagined. This is unrelated to the word ‘fantastic’ and is not it’s a synonym. Thus, option ‘b’ is incorrect.
Option c ‘wonderful’ is an adjective that refers to something that inspires admiration or delight, something that is extraordinarily good. For example, “Nature has wonderful gifts for those who seek.” This is similar in meaning to the word ‘fantastic’ and thus, it is the required word. The correct answer is option ‘c’.
Option d ‘economical’ is an adjective that describes something that gives a good value or service in relation to the amount of money, effort, or time spent on it. For example, “Travelling by train would be more economical than traveling by air.” This is not the required word as it does not hold the same meaning as ‘fantastic’. Thus, option ‘d’ is incorrect.

Note:
Note that we are looking for another adjective that holds a similar meaning. Option a is a noun.
