Question

Choose the antonym of the word ANCIENT.

Options

• (A) Old
• (B) Historic
• (C) Modern
• (D) Fragile

Answer

(C) Modern

Solution

1. Ancient means belonging to a very distant past.
2. Old and historic are close to ancient in meaning, so they are traps in an antonym question.
3. Fragile describes how easily something breaks, which is unrelated.
4. The opposite of ancient is modern.
