Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word.

MUNDANE

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. ordinary.

"Mundane" means something that is commonplace or lacking in excitement. The term "ordinary" best fits this meaning as it also denotes something typical and unremarkable.

In contrast, "abnormal," "wonderful," and "exciting" are opposites of "mundane," as they suggest unusualness, excellence, or thrill, respectively.

Hence, "ordinary" is the most appropriate synonym for "mundane."
