The antonym of the word "modest" is "vain," so Option 1 is the correct answer.
Here's a detailed explanation:
-
Vain - Someone who is vain is excessively proud of their appearance, abilities, or achievements and often seeks attention and admiration. This is the opposite of someone who is modest, as modest individuals tend to downplay their abilities and avoid seeking excessive attention or praise.
-
Furious - This word has a completely different meaning. "Furious" means extremely angry or full of rage, which is not related to the concept of modesty.
-
Dishonest - This word also has a different meaning. "Dishonest" refers to a lack of honesty or truthfulness, which is unrelated to modesty.
-
Simple - While "simple" is somewhat related to modesty in the sense of not being extravagant or overly elaborate, it's not a direct antonym. "Simple" means plain or uncomplicated, whereas "modest" primarily relates to behavior, attitude, or appearance, indicating humility, simplicity, or lack of showiness. The opposite of "simple" would be something like "complex" or "elaborate," but it's not the antonym of "modest."
