Question

Select the word opposite in meaning to ‘Transparent’.

• A. Clear
• B. Invisible
• C. Opaque
• D. Luminous

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To determine the word opposite in meaning to ‘Transparent’, we must first understand the meanings of the options provided:

Option	Meaning
Clear	Easily seen through; without obstruction or cloudiness.
Invisible	Unable to be seen; not visible to the eye.
Opaque	Not able to be seen through; not transparent.
Luminous	Emitting or reflecting light; glowing.

From these meanings, the word ‘Opaque’ is the opposite of ‘Transparent’ because it means not allowing light to pass through, making it impossible to see through the material. In contrast, ‘Transparent’ refers to something that can clearly be seen through because it allows light to pass without significant obstruction.

Thus, the correct answer is Opaque.
