Question

Choose the word/phrase which is opposite in meaning to the bold word/phrase in the sentence.
Relation teaches us not to run after the transient pleasure of the world.
A) Permanent
B) Sinful
C) Unnatural
D) Joyful

Answer 1

Hint: The word transient means to last only for a short duration of time. This means something that is bound to end or finish. Therefore, the word that will be opposite to transient will have a meaning which implies something that will never finish or end.

Complete answer:
Keeping the hint in mind we will analyze each option one by one to identify the correct answer.

Option A is permanent. The word permanent means something that never ends or something that lasts for an infinite period. This word is opposite in meaning to the meaning of the word transient. Therefore, option A can be the right answer.

Option B is sinful. The word is misspelled because the word with this spelling does not have any meaning. This is not a meaningful word and therefore, cannot be the opposite of the word transient. Thus option B is incorrect.

Unnatural means something that is not naturally occurring or something that is artificially made. This word has a meaning that is nowhere related to the meaning of the word transient. Therefore, option C is also incorrect.

The word joyful means something pleasant, enjoyable, and exciting. It is also used to refer to a happy and jolly person. This word is also not related to the word transient. Therefore, going with the hint, this cannot be the opposite of the word transient. Therefore, option D is incorrect.
Thus, option A is the correct answer.

Note:
Before analyzing the options, the question needs to be read carefully. It needs to be noted what is asked so as to ensure that we analyze the options in the right perspective in order to find the correct answer to the question.
