Question

Find out a word which is nearest to the opposite in meaning to the word given in capitals.
TRANSCENDENT

• A. unparallel
• B. remarkable
• C. supreme
• D. ordinary

Hint:

When looking for antonyms, first categorize the target word as positive, negative, or neutral.
'TRANSCENDENT' is highly positive and superior.
Therefore, its antonym must represent something average or inferior, leading directly to 'ordinary'.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understand the word.
Transcendent means surpassing all others, beyond ordinary limits, supreme or extraordinary.
Step 2: Look for the opposite meaning.
If transcendent means beyond the ordinary, its antonym must refer to something within ordinary limits.
Step 3: Eliminate and confirm.
Unparallel, remarkable, and supreme are all close in meaning to transcendent. Only ordinary captures the opposite - something average, not surpassing anything.
\[ \boxed{\text{ordinary}} \]
