Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word.

GROTESQUE

Options:

Monstrous

Attractive

Distorted

Ugly

Correct Answer:

Attractive

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word grotesque is attractive.

  • Grotesque means "deliberately or unintentionally incongruous, absurd, or bizarre in a way that is shocking or strangely fascinating."
  • Attractive means "pleasing or appealing to the senses or mind."

The other words have different meanings to grotesque, so they are not good antonyms.

  • Monstrous means "extremely ugly or hideous."
  • Distorted means "twisted or misshapen."
  • Ugly means "unpleasant or repulsive to the sight."
