An antonym for "hassle" is __________.

  1. cumbersome
  2. bothersome
  3. questionable
  4. convenient
  5. difficult

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Something that is a hassle is inconvenient, often in an irritating manner. A hassle might also be said to be bothersome or, at least in a secondary sense, cumbersome or difficult. Something that is convenient is not a hassle but instead is easy and available.



An antonym for “horrific” is __________.

  1. lovely
  2. reassuring
  3. pictorial
  4. frightening
  5. gory

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

When something is horrific or horrifying, it causes shuddering and fear. Such a thing is unsettling, causing someone to be ill at ease and frightened. Thus, the best option for an antonym among the options provided is “reassuring,” for when something is reassuring, it removes fear and concern.
While “lovely” and perhaps even “pictorial” might be tempting answers, only “reassuring” directly opposes this sense of frightfulness.



An antonym for “tepid” is __________.

  1. chilled
  2. fire
  3. enthusiastic
  4. wasteful
  5. lukewarm

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

In its most general usage, the word tepid means “slightly warm.” Because of this, it is likely that you will be tempted by the options “lukewarm,” “chilled,” and “fire;” however, none of these provide an adequate antonym – not even fire, for that is not an antonym to tepid (as would be “blazing” or something else describing a great deal of heat). In addition to pertaining to physical temperature, “tepid” can likewise mean “unenthusiastic” (as though someone had a merely warm or even cool temperament). Thus, “enthusiastic” is the best option among those provided.



An antonym for “voracious” is __________.

  1. mannered
  2. faint
  3. humble
  4. hungry
  5. abstemious

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

When someone has a voracious appetite, he or she is extremely hungry, being led to devour large quantities of food. In an extended sense, someone can be voracious for any given activity, in the sense that he or she is very devoted and eager in pursuit thereof. In contrast to such voracity, an “abstemious” person is one who does not indulge heavily, particularly in food or drink. This is the only appropriate antonym among the options provided.



An antonym for “wretched” is __________.

  1. edified
  2. sad
  3. improved
  4. joyous
  5. depressed

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The word “wretched” can mean “of poor quality” or “in a poor condition,” though it is primarily used to describe someone in an extremely miserable state of affairs (and likewise the mental state of sadness or dejection felt because of such conditions). Thus, the only antonym among the options provided is “joyous.” While “improved” and “edified” might be tempting, these do not directly contrast to the state of being wretched. Improvement and edification can help to remove someone from wretchedness. They are not, however, the opposite thereof.



An antonym for "wobbling" is __________.

  1. jittering
  2. tottering
  3. steady
  4. oscillating
  5. dampen

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

As you well know, a “wobbling” object is one that is moving or swaying from side to side (or “jiggling,” perhaps). The point to note is that such an object is unsteady and unstable. In contrast to this, only “steady” is an acceptable antonym. Other options, like “tottering,” “oscillating,” and “jittering” describe other types of unstable motion. To “dampen” a motion will stop it, but this does not describe an antonym to “wobbling.”



An antonym for “munificent” is __________.

  1. stingy
  2. brawny
  3. strengthened
  4. compact
  5. relaxed

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The word “munificent” literally means “gift-giving.” More properly speaking, the English definition is, “the character quality of being very lavish and generous.” One could say, “Uncle Peter was extremely munificent to all of his relatives. Since he had no children of his own, he spent his extra money more lavishly among his other relatives.” In contrast with this, only “stingy” indicates a lack of generosity.



An antonym for “moderate” is __________.

  1. political
  2. argumentative
  3. exceptional
  4. recalcitrant
  5. unfitting

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

When something is moderate, it is “in the middle.” A “moderately hot” beverage is one that is “relatively hot” – not too hot, not too cold. A “moderate opinion” is one that is not extreme – not (for example) too conservative, not too liberal. The key notion associated with moderation is that of being “in the middle” and not being extreme.
While many of the options are perhaps related to immoderation – for instance, argumentation and being too political – only “exceptional” is directly opposed to “moderate.” When something is “exceptional” it is unusual and “stands out” – which is quite the opposite of being moderate.
