   Uncanny

   Answer & explanation

   Answer: B) Ordinary

   Answer: 2 – Ordinary
   Solution (Correct Option – 2: Ordinary):
   The word “uncanny” means something that is strange, mysterious, or difficult to explain, often in a way that causes uneasiness (असामान्य या रहस्यमय).
   The opposite of this would be “ordinary”, which means normal, usual, or not out of the ordinary (सामान्य, साधारण).
   Uncanny – रहस्यमय / अजीब
   Ordinary – सामान्य / आम
   Why other options are incorrect:
   • Saintly – Means very moral or holy (पवित्र), not the opposite of strange
   • Queer – Also means strange or odd (अजीब), a synonym, not an antonym
   • Unduly – Means excessively or too much (अत्यधिक), unrelated in meaning
   So, the correct antonym of uncanny is ordinary.
