Zorluk: OrtaAntonyms and Words Opposite in Meaning

Complete the sentence below by supplying the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the capitalized word in bold.

Cevap:While the first speaker delivered a remarkably LUCID presentation that laid out the plan clearly, the second speaker's explanation was entirely 【obscure】, leaving the committee completely confused.

Cevap

The correct response is 'obscure' (or acceptable antonyms such as 'unclear', 'vague', or 'ambiguous').
In this context, 'lucid' means clear, easy to understand, and articulated well. The contrast marker 'While' indicates that the second speaker's explanation had the opposite effect. Therefore, 'obscure' (or words like 'unclear' or 'vague') correctly completes the sentence by describing an explanation that is hard to understand.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the contextual meaning of the target word in the sentence.
The target word 'LUCID' describes a presentation that is clear, easily understood, and transparent.
Understanding the context of contrast indicated by 'While' helps establish the intended meaning of the target word.
2
Identify the word that provides the exact opposite meaning to fill the blank.
The word 'obscure' means difficult to understand, unclear, or hidden, which directly opposes 'lucid'.
The sentence structure requires an adjective opposite to 'lucid' to reflect the audience's state of being 'completely confused'.
