Question

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word. Magnanimous

• A. Splendour
• B. Large
• C. Degraded
• D. Generous

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Degraded

• Definition of Magnanimous: The word Magnanimous comes from the Latin roots magnus (great) and animus (soul/mind). It describes someone who is very generous, forgiving, and possesses a "noble" or "great" spirit, especially toward a rival or someone less powerful. Why Degraded is the Antonym: Degraded refers to something that is low in character, quality, or moral standing (dishonorable). Since a "magnanimous" person is of high moral character and "noble" spirit, "degraded" (meaning low or base) serves as the most appropriate opposite in terms of character and status.
