Choose the correct antonym for the word 'Flagrant' from the options given below:-

Options:

Notorious

Blatant

Unobtrusive

Adjacent

Correct Answer:

Unobtrusive

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Unobtrusive

  • Flagrant (Adjective): Conspicuously or obviously offensive; clearly and notably bad or wrong. It implies something is so bad it cannot be ignored, often suggesting boldness or openness (e.g., a flagrant violation of the rules).

  • Unobtrusive (Adjective): Not conspicuous or attracting attention; inconspicuous. This is the opposite of something that is glaringly obvious or offensive.

Other Options: 

  • Blatant is a strong synonym for flagrant.

  • Notorious means famous or well known, typically for some bad quality or deed. (Related, but not an antonym).

  • Adjacent means next to or adjoining. (Unrelated).
