Question:

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

Uncanny

Options:

Queer

Unduly

Saintly

Ordinary

Correct Answer:

Ordinary

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word uncanny is ordinary.

  • Uncanny means "strange or mysterious, especially in an unsettling way."
  • Ordinary means "normal or usual."

So, the opposite of something being uncanny would be for it to be ordinary, or to be normal or usual.

The other words do not have opposite meanings to uncanny.

  • Queer means "odd or strange."
  • Unduly means "to an excessive or unjustified degree."
  • Saintly means "having the qualities of a saint."
