Antonyms

Question:

Choose the word that describes the best antonym (opposite) of the following words.
Revolting

Options:

Inviting

Beautiful

Fashionable

Ghastly

Correct Answer:

Inviting

Explanation:

THE correct answer is OPTION 1 - Inviting

The best antonym (opposite) of the word "revolting" is Inviting

Here's why:

  • Revolting means something that is disgusting, repulsive, or offensive.
  • Inviting means something that is attractive, appealing, or tempting. This directly contrasts the negative connotations of revolting.
  • Beautiful focuses on visual aesthetics and might not necessarily oppose the idea of being disgusting (e.g., a beautiful but decaying flower).
  • Fashionable describes something that is trendy or stylish, but doesn't necessarily address the concept of being pleasant or unpleasant.
  • Ghastly is another word that means horrible or shocking, so it's not an opposite of revolting.
