    Question


    Select the most appropriate antonym of the highlighted word.
    It’s very cheap to display wealth by donning gaudy dresses.

    A.

    Cheap

    B.

    Sober

    C.

    Ornate

    D.

    Scanty

    Correct option is B


    Word Meaning:
    Gaudy means excessively bright or showy, often in bad taste.
    Synonyms: flashy, loud, tacky.
    Antonyms: sober, elegant, simple.
    Explanation:
    “Sober” means restrained, modest, and simple — which contrasts perfectly with “gaudy.”
    Option Meanings:
    · Cheap – low in cost or quality (सस्ता); unrelated to appearance.
    · Sober – plain, modest, not showy (सादा). Correct.
    · Ornate – elaborately decorated (सजावटी); synonym, not antonym.
    · Scanty – small in quantity or size (अल्प); doesn’t contrast “gaudy” directly.
