Question

Select the antonym of the word exotic

• A. Wonderful
• B. Cosmopolitan
• C. Irrelevant
• D. Common

Hint:

“Exotic” is rare or foreign — “common” is ordinary and familiar.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The word "exotic" means something unusual, foreign, or strikingly different from what is ordinary.
It often refers to objects, places, animals, or experiences that are rare or unfamiliar.
For example, an “exotic dish” means a food item from another country or culture that is not commonly eaten locally.
We are looking for the opposite of “exotic,” i.e., something usual, familiar, or ordinary.
Let’s look at the choices:
- (A) Wonderful — This is a positive adjective but does not contrast with “exotic.”
- (B) Cosmopolitan — Means worldly or familiar with many cultures; not an opposite.
- (C) Irrelevant — Means not connected; unrelated to exotic.
- (D) Common — This means usual, familiar, or ordinary — the perfect antonym for exotic.
Hence, the correct answer is (D) Common.
