Question:

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM for the given word.
Antique

Options:

Obsolete

Recent

Common

Old

Correct Answer:

Recent

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym for the word antique is recent.

  • Antique means belonging to a past age and no longer in common use.
  • Recent means belonging to or occurring in a recent period of time.

The other words do not have the same meaning as antique and are therefore not antonyms.

  • Obsolete means no longer in use or no longer produced.
  • Common means widely or usually prevalent or occurring.
  • Old means having existed or been in use for a long time.
