Question 1 Report

In each of the following sentences, there is one word underlined and one gap. From the list of words lettered A - D, choose the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentences.

The cast consisted of many famous actors and few.............ones.

Answer Details
The correct option to fill the gap in the sentence and be the opposite in meaning to the underlined word is "unknown." The word "few" indicates that there were not many of the opposite of "famous" in the cast. "Unknown" is the opposite of "famous" and means that these actors were not well-known or recognized. Therefore, it would correctly fill the gap in the sentence and make sense in the context. Option A, "humble," is not the opposite of "famous" and does not fit the context of the sentence. Option B, "infamous," means having a bad reputation and would not fit in the context of the sentence. Option D, "unpopular," is not the opposite of "famous" and would not make sense in the context of the sentence.
