Which word is closest in meaning to extraordinary?
A most extraordinary man, but very quiet.Answer & explanation
Answer: B) Unusual
Meaning: extraordinary = very unusual, beyond the ordinary *(असाधारण, असामान्य)*.
Break the word: *extra* (beyond) + *ordinary* — anything beyond ordinary is remarkable.
unusual = not common, out of the ordinary *(असामान्य, अनोखा)* — the closest match.
Why the others are wrong.
• common = found everywhere, ordinary *(साधारण, आम)* — an antonym.
• regular = usual, following a normal pattern *(नियमित, सामान्य)* — again the opposite idea.
• average = of the usual standard, neither good nor bad *(औसत)* — an extraordinary man is far above average.
*Three of the four options are antonyms — that alone isolates the answer.*
