Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word. INORDINATE |
exorbitant irrational disproportionate reasonable |
reasonable |
The correct answer is option 4. reasonable. "Inordinate" describes something that exceeds normal or appropriate limits, often implying excessive or unreasonable behavior or quantities. For example, if someone has an inordinate amount of something, it means they have more than what is considered usual or acceptable. "Reasonable," on the other hand, implies that something is fair, sensible, or within appropriate limits. It suggests a balance between extremes and adhering to standards of rationality and fairness. Therefore, "reasonable" is the most appropriate antonym for "inordinate" because it represents the opposite concept of being within sensible or acceptable limits, rather than exceeding them excessively. |
