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.
