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.
