GRE Verbal Reasoning QUESTION #8044
Question 1
ARRHYTHMIC: Choose the word most nearly opposite in meaning to this word.
  • timely
  • subordinate
  • terminal✔️
  • lacking precision
Correct Answer Explanation
ARRHYTHMIC means lacking a regular rhythm or pattern — irregular. Its antonym is exhibiting regularity (option E, placed here as option 4). Exhibiting regularity directly opposes arrhythmic by meaning consistent, patterned, and rhythmic. 'Timely' refers to punctuality. 'Lacking precision' is actually similar in meaning, not opposite.
