Question:

Choose the option which is farthest in meaning from 'wonderful':

Options:

Magnificent

Hazel

Resplendent

Ordinary

Correct Answer:

Ordinary

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 4: Ordinary

"Farthest in meaning" means the word that is most different or opposite in meaning from the given word.

  • Wonderful means inspiring delight, pleasure, or admiration; extremely good; marvelous.

Let's look at the options:

  • Option 1: Magnificent means extremely beautiful, elaborate, or impressive. This is very close in meaning to wonderful.
  • Option 2: Hazel refers to a light brown or greenish-brown color. This has no relation to the meaning of wonderful.
  • Option 3: Resplendent means shining brilliantly; gleaming; splendid. This is also close in meaning to wonderful.
  • Option 4: Ordinary means common, routine, or having no special or distinctive features. This is the most distant in meaning from the positive and exceptional connotations of 'wonderful'
