Antonyms

Question:

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

HORRENDOUS

Options:

watchful

pleasant

dreary

frightening

Correct Answer:

pleasant

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word "horrendous" is pleasant.

  • Horrendous means "extremely unpleasant, horrifying, or terrible."
  • Pleasant means "agreeable or pleasing to the senses or mind."

The other words do not have the same meaning as "horrendous" and are therefore not antonyms.

  • Watchful means "alert or vigilant."
  • Dreary means "gloomy, dismal, or depressing."
  • Frightening means "causing fear or alarm."
