Mythical

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Correct Answer

Verifiable

Explanation

Rule: An antonym must represent the exact opposite meaning of the provided word.

Formula: Mythical (Based on myth; not proven/imaginary) ←→ Antonym (Proven; able to be tested or checked)

Application: "Mythical" refers to something that exists only in myths or folklore and is not based on fact. Therefore, "Verifiable" (which means able to be checked or proven to be true) is its direct antonym. Options like Imaginary, Supernatural, and Symbolic function as synonyms or closely related concepts rather than opposites.
