Question

Gulliver is asked to demonstrate "some proofs of [his] prodigious strength." Which word is an antonym for prodigious? A. ordinary B. exceptional C. stupendous D. superior

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

First, let`s define antonyms - they are words of the opposite meaning (small-large)

Prodigious means being immense, great, stunning, amazing and etc. So other answers: exceptional, stupendous and superior can relate in some way with prodigious, so we can say they are synonyms ( words of the same or similar meaning).

The only word that means the opposite is ordinary, so this is the antonym we are looking for.
