Question

Antonym of Outcast is ___.

• A. unwanted
• B. persona non grata
• C. favorite
• D. gypsy

Hint:

To find antonyms, first clearly understand the meaning of the word, then choose the option with the \textbf{opposite sense}.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: An outcast is a person who is rejected, excluded, or not accepted by a group or society. The antonym should express the opposite idea — someone who is accepted or liked. Step 1:Understand the meaning: \[ \text{Outcast} = \text{rejected or excluded person} \]
Step 2:Analyze each option:

• (A) unwanted → Similar meaning (not opposite).
• (B) persona non grata → Means unwelcome person (same meaning).
• (C) favorite → Correct; someone who is liked or preferred.
• (D) gypsy → Refers to a nomadic group, not an antonym.

Step 3:Final meaning: \[ \text{Outcast} \leftrightarrow \text{Favorite} \]
