SSC CGL - 21 July 2023 - Shift 4 • English • Q25

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate ANTONYM of the word given in the brackets.

She was wearing a _____________ new outfit. (expensive)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. cheap.

When we describe an outfit as "expensive," it typically means it is costly, luxurious, or of high value. The antonym of "expensive" is a word that represents the opposite meaning — something that is inexpensive, low-cost, or affordable.

In the sentence provided, the focus is on the cost or value of the outfit. Describing it as "cheap" directly contrasts the implication of being expensive, which fits well with the intended meaning. 

"Cheap" is commonly used as the antonym of "expensive" in everyday language to denote something that is affordable or low-priced.
