ARDUOUS

Single correct option

Choose the word most nearly the OPPOSITE in meaning to: ARDUOUS
  1. A. Hard
  2. B. Easy
  3. C. Noisy
  4. D. Costly
Show answer and solution

Answer: (B) Easy

'Arduous' means demanding great effort, so its antonym is 'easy'. 'Hard' is the synonym and the trap placed in the options. 'Noisy' and 'costly' have no relation to the amount of effort involved and are used only as distractors.
