Question

Select the opposite of the given word:
Queer
a)Common
b)Strange
c)Unique
d)Delicate

Answer 1

Hint: Queer is the term given to something that is odd or strange or unusual. The opposite of queer should mean something that is normal or usual.

Complete step-by-step answer:

Option a is the correct option. The meaning of the term ‘Common’ is something that is usual or prevalent. Queer means something that is unusual and so this option is exactly the opposite of the given term.
Option b is the incorrect option. This option itself means the same as the word ‘Queer’. It is the synonym of Queer.
Option c is also an incorrect option. Unique means to be one of its kind. Queer and Unique share the platform where Queer suggests an inclination of negative sense and Unique has a sense of positivity. Both mean something that is unusual but the sense or tone of the word differs. On the other hand, unique in no way is in the vicinity to the opposite of the term ‘Queer’.
Option d ‘Delicate’ is the term given to something that is fine in texture, something that is fragile. The meaning has no connection to the opposite of the given term and so is the incorrect option.

Note: Two options – option b and option c seem to have a similar meaning to the given word. The difference should be understood properly as sense matters.
