Question 1 Report

Instruction. Choose the word opposite in meaning to the underlined word in the sentence.
Ibrahim's flamboyant lifestyle contrasts sharply with Aminu's ....attitude.
Answer Details
The opposite of "flamboyant" is "austere." Explanation: "Flamboyant" means showy, bold, or extravagant in appearance or behavior. On the other hand, "austere" means plain, simple, or unadorned in appearance or behavior. Since the sentence states that Ibrahim's flamboyant lifestyle contrasts sharply with Aminu's attitude, which suggests that Aminu's attitude is opposite in nature, the word that best fits the sentence to describe Aminu's attitude is "austere." Therefore, the opposite of "flamboyant" is "austere."
