Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word.

Characteristic

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Usual.

The most appropriate antonym of "characteristic" is "Usual" because "characteristic" refers to a distinguishing feature, while "usual" describes something common or ordinary, lacking uniqueness.

The other options—distinctive (a synonym), inbred (unrelated in meaning), and affordable (about cost)—do not serve as opposites of "characteristic."
