Question:

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

Authentic

Options:

Incredible

Meagre 

Genuine

Notorious

Correct Answer:

Incredible

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1. Incredible.

"Authentic" refers to something that is genuine, real, or true. For example, authentic artifacts are genuine items from a particular historical period or culture.

On the other hand, "incredible" means something that is unbelievable or not credible. It suggests that the thing described is difficult to believe or highly improbable.

So, in the context of antonyms, "Incredible" contrasts with "Authentic" as it represents something that is not genuine or real, thus making it the appropriate antonym in this case.
