Antonyms

Question:

Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word.

Steep

Options:

Flat

Shallow

Rough

Narrow

Correct Answer:

Flat

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word steep is flat.

  • Steep means "having a very high or sudden incline; almost vertical."
  • Flat means "having a level or even surface; not sloping or inclined."

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

  • Shallow means "having a relatively small depth."
  • Rough means "not smooth or even; having a lot of bumps or irregularities."
  • Narrow means "having a small width."
