Which one of the following words is the most opposite in meaning to the word 'sacred' as used in the passage (Para 1) ?

  • A.pure
  • B.noble
  • C.unholy
  • D.moral

Answer: C

The word most opposite in meaning to 'sacred' is unholy.

Sacred means holy, connected with religion and deserving reverence, as the river is in the Tibetan holy book. Unholy, meaning not holy or wicked, is its direct opposite.

Pure, noble and moral are all close in spirit to sacred rather than opposed to it, so they cannot be antonyms.
