Question 1
FREQUENCY: Choose the word most nearly opposite in meaning to this word.
  • unity
  • rarity✔️
  • gradualness
  • persistency
Correct Answer Explanation
FREQUENCY means how often something occurs — high rate of occurrence. Its direct antonym is rarity, which means occurring very seldom or infrequently. 'Unity' means oneness. 'Gradualness' means step-by-step pace. 'Persistency' means continuing steadily. Only 'rarity' directly opposes the idea of frequent occurrence.
