Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

Hilarious

Options:

Ridiculous

Pretentious

Usual

Humourless

Correct Answer:

Humourless

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word hilarious is humourless.

  • Hilarious means "extremely funny or amusing."
  • Humourless means "not funny or amusing."

The other words do not have the same meaning as hilarious, so they are not its antonyms.

  • Ridiculous means "absurd or wildly improbable."
  • Pretentious means "attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed."
  • Usual means "happening or done regularly or frequently; ordinary."
