What is the antonym of "Sybaritic"?
Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Spartan
Meaning: sybaritic = devoted to luxury and self-indulgence *(विलासी, भोग-विलास प्रिय)*.
Spartan = plain, austere, stripped of every comfort *(सादा, कठोर, संयमी)* — the opposite way of living.
The two words come from two Greek cities: *Sybaris* in Italy was famous for its luxury, *Sparta* for its hardship.
Why the others are wrong.
• Luxurious = marked by great comfort and expense *(विलासितापूर्ण)* — a straight synonym.
• Pampered = indulged and spoiled with comfort *(लाड़-प्यार में पला, दुलारा)* — a synonym, and the trap most candidates fall into.
• Sensual = given to the pleasures of the senses *(इंद्रियसुखी, कामुक)* — close to *sybaritic*, never against it.
