Choose the option opposite in meaning to the underlined word(s).
Orinya balances the pail on her head with accustomed ease?
Answer Details
The word "accustomed" means something that is usual or customary, which implies that Orinya has done this task many times before and is therefore very comfortable with it.
Therefore, the option opposite in meaning to the underlined word is "unusual," which means something that is not common or customary, and would suggest that Orinya is not used to carrying a pail on her head and may find it difficult or awkward. The other options do not have an opposite meaning to "accustomed" in the context of the sentence. "Surprising" would mean that Orinya is able to carry the pail with ease, which is consistent with the original meaning of the sentence. "Convincing" has no opposite meaning, and "unwary" means to be unaware or careless, which is not relevant in the context of the sentence.
