CasualAnswer & explanation
Answer: C) Formal
Correct Answer: Formal
Explanation:
The word "casual" means relaxed, informal, or not planned or serious (अनौपचारिक, सामान्य, या सहज).
The appropriate antonym is "formal," which means strictly following rules, structure, or seriousness in style or manner (औपचारिक या नियमबद्ध).
Let’s evaluate the options:
• Personal – related to an individual (व्यक्तिगत), not the opposite of casual.
• Traditional – based on customs or long-established practices (परंपरागत), not necessarily opposite to casual.
• Formal ✅ – correct antonym, means structured and official (औपचारिक).
• Spiritual – related to the soul or religion (आध्यात्मिक), unrelated.
✅ So, the correct antonym of "casual" is "formal."
