The word "extravagant" means excessive, wasteful, or spending in a lavish and luxurious way. To find the best antonym (opposite) for "extravagant," we need to look for a word that conveys the opposite idea of being careful with money or resources. Option 3: "Economical" means using money or resources efficiently and wisely, which is the opposite of "extravagant." This is the best antonym. Option 1: "Sensible" means showing good judgment and reason, but it's not a direct antonym for "extravagant." Option 2: "Careful" implies caution and attentiveness but may not necessarily convey the opposite of being extravagant. Option 4: "Balanced" suggests having a fair distribution or being in equilibrium, which doesn't directly contrast with the idea of being extravagant. So, the best antonym for "extravagant" is Option 3: "Economical." |
