Question

Choose the word which is opposite in meaning to the word mentioned below-
“Lucid”

• A. Clear
• B. Transparent
• C. Obscure
• D. Bright

Hint:

Think of "Lucid" as being in the "Light" and "Obscure" as being in the "Shadows". They represent the two extremes of clarity.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: The word "Lucid" is often used to describe both light and mental clarity. Finding its opposite requires identifying words that imply "darkness" or "confusion."

• Lucid: Derived from the Latin lucidus, meaning "light" or "bright."

• Modern Usage: It usually describes a speech or thought that is perfectly clear and easy to understand.

Step 1: Evaluating the "clarity" of the word.
A

lucid explanation is one where there is

no confusion. Options like Clear, Transparent, and Bright are all

synonyms or related concepts.

Step 2: Identifying the word that implies lack of clarity.
The word

"Obscure" means something that is

hidden or hard to see. An "obscure" point is one that is not clearly expressed or understood. While a "Lucid" dream or argument is vivid and sharp, an Obscure one is vague and difficult to grasp. Hence, (C) is the most accurate antonym.
