Question

Choose the word opposite in meaning to the given word: FARcICAL

• A. Hysterical
• B. Terrible
• C. Facetious
• D. Serious

Hint:

When looking for an antonym, it's important to consider both the context and the literal meaning. Farcical implies humor or absurdity, so the opposite would be serious, as it lacks those qualities.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The word "farcical" means something that is absurd or ridiculously exaggerated, often in a humorous way. The opposite of this would be something serious, which is far from absurd or humorous. - "Hysterical" refers to a state of uncontrollable emotion, not the opposite of farcical. - "Terrible" refers to something bad, but not necessarily the opposite of farcical. - "Facetious" refers to treating serious issues with inappropriate humor, which is close to farcical but not its opposite. Therefore, the correct antonym is "serious."
