Antonyms

Question:

______ is the antonym of the word 'unorthodox'.

Options:

backward

conventional

unusual

unconventional

Correct Answer:

conventional

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → conventional

The correct antonym of the word "unorthodox" is conventional.

  • Backward: Refers to being less advanced or progressive; not a direct antonym of unorthodox.
  • Conventional: Refers to what is generally accepted or traditional; this is the opposite of unorthodox.
  • Unusual: Refers to something that is not common or typical; it is similar, but not an antonym.
  • Unconventional: Similar to unorthodox; it means not conforming to accepted standards, so it is not an antonym.
