Question:

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

ARROGANCE

Options:

Familiarity

Honesty

Ignorance

Humility

Correct Answer:

Humility

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4. Humility.

"Arrogance" typically refers to an attitude of superiority, pride, or self-importance, often accompanied by a lack of regard for others.

The antonym we're looking for should describe an attitude characterized by modesty, meekness, or lack of pride. "Humility" fits this description perfectly. It refers to the quality of being humble or modest, contrasting with "arrogance," which implies an inflated sense of self-importance.

The other options are not direct opposites of arrogance:

  • Familiarity refers to being well-acquainted with something.
  • Honesty refers to being truthful.
  • Ignorance refers to a lack of knowledge.
