Question 1 Report

?Choose the option that is nearest in meaning to the word or phrase underlined. 

What a grotesque attire. 

Answer Details

The word "grotesque" refers to something that is distorted, strange, or ugly in an exaggerated or unnatural way. It often implies a strange and unpleasant appearance. When we look at the options given:


  • Beautiful: This describes something that is pleasing and attractive, which is the opposite of grotesque.
  • Splendid: This suggests something that is magnificent or very impressive, not fitting for the meaning of grotesque.
  • Horrid: This word means extremely unpleasant or ugly, which aligns very well with the idea of being grotesque.
  • Fine: This refers to something of high quality or delicate, again, the opposite of grotesque.

Therefore, the option that is nearest in meaning to "grotesque" is "horrid" because both imply something that is unpleasant or unattractive.
