Antonyms

Question:

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word

Comely

Options:

Grandiloquent

Gorgeous

Gregarious

Grotesque

Correct Answer:

Grotesque

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word "comely" is grotesque.

  • Comely means "pleasing to look at; attractive."
  • Grotesque means "deliberately or unintentionally strange or ugly in appearance."

The other answer choices are not as good antonyms of "comely" because they do not have the same meaning of "not pleasing to look at."

  • Grandiloquent means "pompous or inflated in style."
  • Gorgeous means "extremely beautiful or splendid."
  • Gregarious means "fond of company or social activity."
