Question 1 Report

Choose the option opposite in meaning to the underlined word(s).He is notorious for his drunkenness?
Answer Details
The option opposite in meaning to the underlined word "notorious" is "unknown." "Notorious" has a negative connotation and refers to something or someone who is widely known, usually for something negative, such as being notorious for criminal activity. Therefore, the opposite of "notorious" would be "unknown," which means that the person or thing is not well-known or recognized by others. The other options are not the best fit for the sentence. "Popular" suggests that the person is well-liked, which is not the same as being notorious. "Well known" and "renowned" also suggest that the person is widely recognized, which is the same as being notorious, and thus are not opposite in meaning.
