   Answer & explanation

   Answer: D) Ordinary

   The word "quaint" refers to something that is attractively unusual, old-fashioned, or charmingly distinctive. It often describes something that is unique and has an endearing or nostalgic quality.

   • Ordinary means normal, plain, or lacking in uniqueness or distinctiveness. It refers to something common or mundane, without any special or charming qualities.
   • These two words are opposite in meaning because "quaint" suggests uniqueness and charm, while "ordinary" implies being standard and unremarkable.
   Why the other options are incorrect:
   • Distinct: This means clearly different or unique, which is closer to being "quaint" rather than its opposite.
   • Brisk: This

   Answer & explanation

   Answer: B) ordinary

   Answer: b) ordinary
   Explanation:
   The word "peculiar" means strange or unusual (अजीब या अनोखा).
   Its antonym should mean normal or usual.
   • Ordinary = normal, usual, common (साधारण या सामान्य) → correct antonym
   • Odd = strange or unusual (अजीब) → synonym, not antonym
   • Beautiful = pleasing to the senses (सुंदर) → unrelated to peculiarity
   • Abnormal = not normal or usual (असामान्य) → synonym, not antonym
   So, the correct opposite of "peculiar" is "ordinary".
