Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word to fill in the blank.

CONTEMPORARY

Their house has been furnished in a _____ style.

  • A.dated
  • B.cliched
  • C.modern
  • D.muted

Answer: C

The synonym of 'contemporary' that fits the blank is 'modern'. In the sentence 'Their house has been furnished in a modern style', contemporary means belonging to the present time, and so does modern.

'Dated' means old-fashioned, which is the opposite of contemporary. 'Cliched' means overused and unoriginal, and 'muted' means toned down or subdued in colour or sound. Neither of these is a synonym of contemporary, so the third option is correct.
