Question

Select the word which means the opposite of the given word.
Dim
A. Dark
B. Bright
C. Misty
D. Dull

Answer 1

Hint:The word antonym (and the equivalent antonymy) is generally taken to be synonymous with the opposite, although there are other more narrow definitions of antonym as well. Graded (or gradable) antonyms are word pairs that lie on a continuous continuum with opposite definitions (hot, cold).

Complete answer:
The term dim defined implies not to glow intensely or plainly.
Dark means little or no light at all.
Bright means light or reflecting to reflect.
Misty means covered or misty or distorted.
Dull indicates the light or clarity or vividness is absent.

Hence the correct answer is option B.

Note:A word that has the opposite sense to another word is an antonym. In 1857, the first recorded use of the term antonym was properly stated, it means a term of opposite significance and is a noun.
