Choose the most appropriate meaning of the given word from the options that follow :

Infernal

  • A.Heavenly
  • B.Divine
  • C.Hellish
  • D.Celestial

Answer: C

Infernal means hellish.

The word comes from the Latin infernus, the lower world, and describes something belonging to hell or as fierce and dreadful as hell, as in 'an infernal noise' or 'the infernal regions'.

The other three options are its opposites. Heavenly, divine and celestial all relate to heaven or the gods, so a candidate who knows only that the word is religious in flavour can still eliminate them as a group.
