Fill in the blank in the following sentence.
_____ is opposite in meaning to the word, 'superior'.
Answer: C
The blank is filled by Inferior.
Superior means higher in rank, status or quality; its exact opposite is inferior, lower in rank, status or quality. The two form a standard antonym pair, both from Latin comparatives (superior, higher; inferior, lower).
Higher is close in meaning to superior, not its opposite. Prior means earlier in time. Lower overlaps with inferior in some senses but is a general word for position; the formal antonym of superior is inferior.
