Question 1
OPPROBRIOUS: Choose the word most nearly opposite in meaning to this word.
  • meretricious
  • innocuous
  • invulnerable
  • irreproachable✔️
Correct Answer Explanation
OPPROBRIOUS means expressing harsh criticism or disgrace — bringing shame. Its antonym is irreproachable, meaning beyond criticism or blame — completely faultless. 'Meretricious' means falsely attractive. 'Innocuous' means harmless. 'Invulnerable' means cannot be harmed. 'Irreproachable' is the strongest antonym as it means deserving no reproach whatsoever.
