Question

The opposite of the word 'valuable' is formed by prefixing it with...........

• A. in-
• B. dis-
• C. im-
• D. un-

Answer 1

Answer:

A. in-

The opposite of the word "valuable" is formed by prefixing it with "in-", making it "invaluable".

However, there is a small point to note:

- "Invaluable" actually means "priceless" or "of immeasurable worth", so it is not exactly the opposite of "valuable." Instead, the true opposite of "valuable" in terms of something having little or no worth would be "worthless."

But strictly speaking, if you were to follow the pattern of using a prefix to form an opposite, "in-" is the correct prefix (though it gives a nuanced meaning).
