Antonyms

Question:

Select the antonym of the given word.

Adept

Options:

Competent

Inept

Skilled

Efficient

Correct Answer:

Inept

Explanation:

The antonym of the word adept is inept.

  • Adept means "having or showing great skill or ability at something."
  • Inept means "lacking skill or ability; clumsy."

The other words do not have the same meaning as adept, so they are not its antonyms.

  • Competent means "having the necessary skills or knowledge to do something successfully."
  • Skilled means "having or showing great skill or ability in a particular area."
  • Efficient means "able to do something well and quickly with little wasted effort or time."
