Question:

Select the word opposite in meaning to the word: Insufferable

Options:

Painful

Deficient

Endurable

Suppressible

Correct Answer:

Endurable

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Endurable

  • Insufferable (Adjective) means too extreme to bear; intolerable (e.g., insufferable arrogance or insufferable heat).

  • Endurable (Adjective) means able to be endured or tolerated; tolerable. This is the direct antonym.

Other Options: 

  • Painful is a characteristic that often makes something insufferable, so it is a related concept, not an opposite.

  • Deficient means not having enough of a specified quality or ingredient. (Unrelated to tolerance).

  • Suppressible means able to be suppressed or stopped. (Unrelated to bearing or tolerating).
