Question
Identify the Antonym for the word - disparity
- A. visibility
- B. vulgarity
- C. humility
- D. similarity (Correct answer)
Correct Answer
Option D — similarity
Detailed Solution & Explanation
The correct answer is similarity.
Key Points
- "Disparity" means a great difference or inequality between things (e.g., economic disparity, gender disparity).
- Its antonym -- a word with the opposite meaning -- is "similarity," which means the state of being alike or resembling each other.
- "Visibility" means the state of being visible, "vulgarity" means crudeness, and "humility" means modesty -- none of these are antonyms of disparity.
- Similarity (closeness/resemblance) directly opposes the idea of disparity (difference/inequality).
