Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

Uncanny

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Ordinary.

Uncanny: strange or mysterious, especially in an unsettling or supernatural way.

The meanings of the options are as follows.

  1. Queer: Strange or odd; it can be synonymous with "uncanny" in some contexts, so it's not a clear antonym.
  2. Unduly: Excessively or inappropriately; not an antonym.
  3. Saintly: Exhibiting qualities associated with a saint, such as holiness; not an antonym.
  4. Ordinary: Common or usual, which is the opposite of "uncanny."

 Hence, the correct antonym would be Ordinary.
