Question:

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

Hideous

Options:

Disgusting

Shocking

Attractive

Ghastly

Correct Answer:

Attractive

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word hideous is attractive.

  • Hideous means "extremely ugly or unpleasant."
  • Attractive means "pleasing or appealing to the senses or mind."

The other words do not have the same meaning as hideous, so they are not its antonyms.

  • Disgusting means "arousing intense dislike or repugnance."
  • Shocking means "causing great surprise, upset, or disapproval."
  • Ghastly means "very unpleasant or horrifying."
