SSC Stenographer - 10/12/2024 (12:30 PM to 2:30 PM) • English • Q69

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word in the given sentence.
His was a stupendous performance in the competition.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Unimpressive

Stupendous means: extremely impressive, amazing, or excellent.

The opposite of stupendous would be something ordinary, dull, or unimpressive.

Now let’s review the options:

Unimpressive → Correct antonym – means not remarkable or striking.

Mnemonic  → Relates to memory aids, not relevant.

Herculean  → Means requiring great strength or effort; it is similar in tone to stupendous.

Soothing  → Means calming; not an antonym of stupendous.
