Vocabulary—Antonyms MCQ (terms of sacredness and respect): From the choices, pick the antonym of ‘‘SACROSANCT’’, contrasting the sacred/inviolable with the profane/ordinary.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Unholy

Explanation:


Given data

  • Sacrosanct: regarded as too important or sacred to be interfered with; inviolable.


Concept/Approach
Seek a word that directly negates sacredness—‘‘unholy’’ fits best.


Option analysis
Unholy: profane; not sacred—closest opposite. ✔️Irreligious: lacking religion personally; not necessarily the opposite of sacred as a property. ❌Unethical: morally wrong; different dimension (ethics vs. sanctity). ❌Irreverent: lacking due respect; could still apply to sacred things, but not the strict antonym. ❌


Example
A sacrosanct rule is inviolable; an unholy act is profane.


Final Answer
Unholy
