Question

Opposite of word “Absolute”
a. Complete
b. Limited
c. Present
d. All of the above

Answer 1

Hint: The opposite of something indicates a difference between the two things.
For example – the opposite of high is low, fat – thin, male – female, man – women etc. So, what would be the opposite of absolute?

Complete answer:
First let us look into the meaning of the word – absolute, and that would be: something that is existing independently and not in relation to other things or is total/complete by itself.
For example: she worked in absolute secrecy.

If we look at the given options we will find that –
- Complete refers to being total to the degree possible or something that is entire. E.g. His work is complete.

- Limited refers to being restricted in size, amount, effect etc. e.g. the offer is for a limited time only.

- Present refers to something that occurred or came to existence just now. E.g. are you present here?

- All of the above refers to options – a, b & c are all correct.

As you can see in the above explanation the word that can mean the opposite of absolute is limited, therefore the correct answer is – option b.

Note: In situations where the meanings of the given options are not clear, use elimination methods and remove the words that you think are least likely to be right. In that way you will have a clear picture of what you need.
