Antonyms

Question:

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

Salient

Options:

Chief

Remarkable

Insignificant

Eminent

Correct Answer:

Insignificant

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word salient is insignificant.

  • Salient means "prominent" or "conspicuous."
  • Insignificant means "not important" or "unnoticeable."

The other words have similar meanings to salient, so they are not good antonyms.

  • Chief means "most important" or "leading."
  • Remarkable means "worthy of attention" or "noteworthy."
  • Eminent means "distinguished" or "prominent."
