He leaves behind an indelible contribution to the financial world.Answer & explanation
Answer: A) temporary
Answer: 1 – temporary
Solution (Correct Option – 1: temporary):
The word “indelible” means permanent, unforgettable, or impossible to remove or erase (अमिट, स्थायी).
So, the most appropriate antonym is “temporary”, which means lasting for only a short time (अस्थायी, थोड़े समय का).
Example:
• Indelible memory → a memory that lasts forever
• Temporary memory → a memory that fades with time
Why other options are incorrect:
Futile – Means pointless or useless (व्यर्थ), not the opposite of indelible.
Durable – Means long-lasting or strong (टिकाऊ), which is actually similar in meaning.
Solitary – Means alone or single (एकाकी), unrelated to permanence or erasure.
Examples
- “The tragedy left an indelible mark on her memory.”
