Question

Select the word which means opposite of the given word: Archaic
a)Modern
b)Impulsive
c)Dull
d)Crenellated

Answer 1

Hint: The word archaic is something of or relating to an earlier or more primitive time. Something which is antiquated or old-fashioned.

Complete step by step solution:

 Let us look at the given words. Option a modern is something from the present or recent time. Archaic means something old-fashioned or relating to a more primitive time. Therefore, option a modern is the opposite of archaic and is the correct answer.

Option b impulsive means to do something without being thoughtful, to act on instinct. This is unrelated to the word archaic.

Option c dull is something which lacks vibrance, interest or excitement. This is again unrelated to the given word.

Option d crenellated means a wall which has spaces on the top for people to shoot guns or cannons outwards. This is again not related to archaic. Therefore, options b, c, and d are incorrect.

Note: Crenellated walls are old fashioned but the meaning of the word is unrelated to archaic.
