Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word.
His knowledge is superficial in nature.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Profound.
Superficial refers to something shallow, lacking depth, or only concerned with the surface aspects.
Profound means having deep insight or significant depth, which is the opposite of superficial.
Thus, "profound" is the correct antonym for "superficial."
The other options mean:
Deviant refers to someone or something that deviates from the norm, not directly related to depth or surface quality.
Artificial refers to something that is not natural or man-made, which does not relate to the concept of depth or surface quality.
Opposing means being against something, not related to the depth or superficiality of knowledge.
