Question:

Choose the word from the options given below that is opposite in meaning to the given underlined word:

COLOSSAL

Options:

Tiny

Cheerful

Unimportant

Lustrous

Correct Answer:

Tiny

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Tiny

"Colossal" means extremely large or enormous, so its opposite is "tiny," meaning very small.

Option (2) → Cheerful: Refers to a happy mood, unrelated to size.
Option (3) → Unimportant: Refers to significance, not size—so not the direct opposite of "colossal."
Option (4) → Lustrous: Means shiny or glowing, not related to the size implied by "colossal."
