Antonyms — Identify the option that best expresses the opposite meaning of ‘‘LUCID’’ (clear, intelligible, and easily understood vs. unclear or obscure; exam-focused English vocabulary).

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Obscure

Explanation:


Given data

  • Word tested: LUCID
  • Options: Glory; Noisy; Obscure; Distinct


Concept/Approach
‘‘Lucid’’ describes language or explanations that are clear and easy to understand.The antonym must denote lack of clarity or being hard to understand.


Step-by-step reasoning
Lucid (clear) ↔ Obscure (unclear, not easily understood).‘‘Distinct’’ is a near-synonym of lucid (clear, unambiguous), not an opposite.‘‘Glory’’ and ‘‘Noisy’’ are semantically unrelated to clarity of expression.


Verification/Alternative
Standard antonym pair: lucid ↔ obscure in thesauri and test-prep materials.


Common pitfalls
Misreading ‘‘distinct’’ as an opposite due to test pressure; it actually reinforces clarity.


Final Answer
The opposite of ‘‘LUCID’’ is Obscure.
