Question:

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

INCOHERENT

Options:

Intelligible

Puzzling

Delightful

Inconsistent

Correct Answer:

Intelligible

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1. Intelligible.

 

  • Incoherent means: Not clear, not logical, or difficult to understand.

  • Antonym (opposite) of incoherent is:  Intelligible — meaning clear and easy to understand.

 

 

  • Puzzling: Means difficult to understand; confusing. This is a synonym or a word with a similar meaning to incoherent, not an antonym.
  • Delightful: Means highly pleasing or enjoyable. This has no direct relationship to the meaning of incoherent.
  • Inconsistent: Means not staying the same throughout; contradictory. While something incoherent might also be inconsistent, inconsistency doesn't directly address the lack of understandability that is central to the meaning of incoherent.
