It’s very cheap to display wealth by donning gaudy dresses.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Sober.
Gaudy means excessively showy or flashy, often in bad taste.
Sober, in this context, refers to something plain, modest, or restrained, making it the most appropriate antonym.
The other option means:
Scanty: Refers to something insufficient or minimal, not an antonym for gaudy.
Ornate: Means highly decorated or elaborate, which is similar in meaning to gaudy, not an antonym.
Cheap: Refers to low cost and does not relate to the style or taste implied by 'gaudy.'
