Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word.
Lucy presented a lucid account of her achievements before the committee.Answer & explanation
Answer: A) ambiguous
Answer: ambiguous
Solution:
• The word lucid means clearly expressed and easy to understand (स्पष्ट, साफ़)।
• We need the antonym, i.e., a word that means the opposite — something unclear or confusing.
• Ambiguous means unclear, open to more than one meaning (अस्पष्ट, भ्रमित करने वाला), which is the correct opposite of lucid.
• Other options:
• Orderly – well-organised (व्यवस्थित) – not opposite of lucid
• Intelligible – understandable (बोधगम्य) – similar to lucid
• Transparent – clear or see-through (पारदर्शी, स्पष्ट) – also similar
• Therefore, the correct antonym of lucid is ambiguous.
