Question:

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

CONSPICUOUS

Options:

Obscure

Apparent

Distinct

Noticeable

Correct Answer:

Obscure

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1. Obscure.

"Conspicuous" means easily noticeable or standing out, often attracting attention due to being prominent or striking.

The antonym we're looking for should describe something that is not easily noticed or does not attract attention.

"Obscure" fits this description perfectly. It means not well-known, concealed, or not easily noticed, contrasting with "conspicuous," which implies something that is easily noticed or stands out.

Therefore, "obscure" is the appropriate antonym for "conspicuous" because it represents the opposite characteristic—not easily noticed or attracting attention.
