An antonym for “uninitiated” is __________.

  1. foreign
  2. milieu
  3. instructed
  4. novice
  5. gregarious

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

To initiate an action is to begin to undertake it, as when someone “initiates the warning sequence in response to a fire.” The word can be used also to describe the process of beginning to teach someone how to do some task or to live in some group. Rights of “initiation” bring people into the beginning of some kind of activity or lifestyle. The “uninitiated” are those who have not been so instructed or (perhaps) inducted into the lifestyle or activity. The only real antonym among the options provided is “instructed.”



An antonym for “rational” is __________.

  1. fractional
  2. illogical
  3. inquiry
  4. decimal
  5. idiosyncratic

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

When something is “rational,” is reasonable and makes sense according to logical thought. Thus, in contrast to rationality, one can speak of being illogical, meaning that such a person does not think in a coherent manner that is communicable. An illogical person is irrational, that is, not reasonable.



An antonym for “hesitant” is __________.

  1. thorough
  2. arrogant
  3. determined
  4. questionable
  5. prideful

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Likely you know the word “hesitant” or at least the related “hesitate.” To be “hesitant” is merely to be in a state of doubt or uncertainty regarding a potential undertaking or course of action. For instance, you could say, “Thomas was hesitant to read the book; he doubted the credibility of the author and did not want to waste his time parsing through half-truths and outright lies.” In contrast to being hesitant, someone who is “determined” is certain that a given decision should be made. Such a person has no hesitations – at least the he or she expresses explicitly.



An antonym for “incriminating” is __________.

  1. moral
  2. exculpatory
  3. shielded
  4. harmless
  5. legal

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Something that is “incriminating” implies that a person is guilty. For instance, “incriminating evidence” in a trial is used to show that a person could indeed be guilty of a crime. The word literally could be read in the sense “in + criminating,” the latter portion being related to the word “criminal.” It is as though such evidence leads one into the status of being a criminal (at least in others’ eyes). Something “exculpatory,” on the contrary, shows the innocence of a person. The word “culpable” means guilty, so “exculpatory” could be read as “getting out of (ex-) the state of guilt (-culpatory).”



An antonym for “hearty” is __________.

  1. restrained
  2. ebullient
  3. healthy
  4. exuberant
  5. strong

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Although the word “hearty” is somewhat like “hardy,” meaning “robust or strong,” it is most often used to indicate “healthy or lively” in a more metaphorical sense, as when we say, “A hearty smile.” Such a smile is cheerful and strong. In opposition to such vigorous and lively smiling, we can consider the “restrained” person, that is, one who is moderate and understated.



An antonym for “cantankerous” is __________.

  1. smiling
  2. senile
  3. angry
  4. grumpy
  5. affable

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

A cantankerous person has an ill temper and often argues. We often think of “cantankerous old men,” though there are indeed cantankerous young people as well. In contrast with such an argumentative personality, the word “affable” is an excellent antonym. Someone who is affable is good-tempered, friendly, and agreeable.



An antonym for “infidel” is __________.

  1. upright
  2. believer
  3. Christian
  4. principled
  5. uncorrupted

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

In its most general (and literal) sense, “infidel” means “someone who is unfaithful,” generally implying that this lack of faithfulness pertains to religious matters. The “-fidel” portion of the word comes from the Latin for “faith” or “faithful,” as found in the English “fidelity” and the Marines’ motto “semper fidelis” – always faithful. Among the options provided, only “believer” adequately expresses an antonym to infidel.



An antonym for “identical” is __________.

  1. specific
  2. disagreement
  3. argumentative
  4. equal
  5. dissimilar

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

When two things are identical, they are exactly the same in some respect. It comes from the Latin for “the same.” To “identify” something is to say that the thing is the same as your description. The best antonym for “identical” found among the options provided is “dissimilar,” meaning “not alike.”
