Answer

Correct Answer: Paid

Explanation

Given data

  • Adjective: HONORARY = holding a title/office without pay or formal duties
  • Options: Dishonorable; Reputed; Paid; Official

Concept/ApproachThe antonym should flip the ‘‘without remuneration’’ feature. ‘‘Paid’’ directly contrasts with ‘‘honorary’’ by specifying remuneration.

Why others do not fitDishonorable: moral standing; not about remuneration.Reputed: well-regarded; unrelated.Official: formal status; honorary titles can be official too; not antonymic.
