NIMCET | ENGLISH | 2021
Choose the most suitable antonym of given word : ERUDITE
Choose the correct answer:
A.
scholarly
B.
unfamiliar
C.
illiterate
D.
arrogant
(Correct Answer)
Correct Answer:
arrogant
Explanation
Solution
The antonym is: Arrogant
If we represent the quality of a person as Q, where E is Erudite (scholarly/learned) and A is Arrogant (overbearing/proud), they are often placed on opposite ends of the social value spectrum:
Q=Positive⟺E
Q=Negative⟺A
In many literary contexts:
Erudite: A person who has gained great knowledge through study.
Arrogant: A person who has an exaggerated sense of their own importance or abilities, often lacking the genuine depth of an erudite person.
