Question:

Choose the appropriate Antonym for the word - "OMINOUS"

Options:

foreboding

vague

exotic

favourable

Correct Answer:

favourable

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) - favourable

Explanation:

  • "Ominous" means giving a sign of something bad or threatening.
  • "Favourable" has a positive connotation, meaning support, goodwill, or something beneficial, which is the opposite of ominous.

Let's look at why the other options are incorrect:

  • Foreboding: means a feeling that something bad will happen; ominous. This is a synonym, not an antonym.
  • Vague: means not clear or definite. This is unrelated to the meaning of ominous.
  • Exotic: means originating in or characteristic of a distant foreign country. This is also unrelated to the meaning of ominous.
