Question

Give the correct antonym of:
 Appropriate
A. Correct
B. Wrong
C. Perfect
D. Suitable

Answer 1

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

Complete answer:
The word appropriate means: suitable or right, compatible, proper, relevant, correct, etc. It is an adjective.
Now let’s examine and understand the given option above.
> Correct: The word correct means: without any error or mistake, right, true, etc. So this option has the similar meaning to the given question so it can’t be an appropriate option.
Opposite: incorrect, wrong, false, etc.
Example: Well done! The answer which you have written in your notebook is absolutely correct.
> Perfect: The word perfect means: without any flaw, having all the qualities and characteristics, as good as it is possible to be, etc. This option can't be an appropriate answer because it has similar meaning.
 Opposite: flawed, bad, corrupt, etc.
 Example: my dance performance was perfect.
> Suitable: The word suitable means: something which is right and appropriate. As this option has similar meaning to the given question so it can’t be an appropriate option.
Opposite: unsuitable, inappropriate, not perfect, etc.
Example: it is the suitable place for living.
> Wrong: Here the word wrong has exactly the opposite meaning. The word wrong means: unsuitable, incorrect, false, inappropriate, etc. This option is absolutely appropriate for the given question.

So the suitable opposite word will be option [B] Wrong.

Note:
To find the correct option for this kind of question students should remember that they need to write the reverse, dissimilar, opposed, contrary, etc of the asked question.
