Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Prominent means something that is important, famous, or easily noticeable (e.g., "a prominent scientist" or "a prominent landmark").
Obscure means something that is not well-known, uncertain, or difficult to see. Because it represents the lack of fame or visibility, it is the direct opposite of prominent.
The other three choices are actually synonyms (words with similar meanings) of prominent:
Renowned: Widely known and celebrated; famous.
Eminent: Famous and respected within a particular profession.
Conspicuous: Standing out so as to be clearly visible; attracting notice.
