Discussion
Choose the word opposite in meaning to that of the underlined part :
He is an amateur photographer.
Answer: C
The opposite of amateur is professional.
An amateur photographer takes photographs for pleasure rather than payment. A professional does it as a paid occupation. That distinction of paid versus unpaid is the true opposition.
Experienced and skilled describe ability, and an amateur may be both, so they are not opposites of amateur. Average describes ordinary quality and has no opposite relation to the word.
