What is the antonym of "Disparate"?
Answer & explanation
Answer: C) Similar
Correct Answer: Option 3 — "Similar"
"Disparate" = essentially different in kind; not allowing comparison; fundamentally different or distinct in quality or character.
"Similar" = having a resemblance in appearance, character, or quantity, without being identical; alike in many ways.
Disparate (essentially different) ↔ Similar (alike/resembling) — direct opposites ✓
Why other options are wrong:
Option 1 'Distinct' = recognisably different in nature; clear and separate. A near-SYNONYM of disparate, not an antonym.
Option 2 'Separate' = existing or happening independently and in a different space or time; not joined. Also related in meaning to disparate, not an antonym.
Option 4 'Contrasting'
Examples
- “The twins have similar features but different personalities.”
