In each of the questions below, certain words are highlighted. Mark the option that is the most opposite in meaning to the highlighted word(s). The arguments put forth by the speaker were rather specious, but somehow he got away with them.
Explanation:
“Specious” means ‘having the ring of truth but actually fallacious’. ‘Fallacious’ means ‘deceptive or misleading’. ‘Unfeigned’ means ‘sincere or genuine’. ‘Obscure’ means ‘not clear, ambiguous, vague’. ‘Pernicious’ means ‘ruinous or injurious’. From the above meanings, ‘Unfeigned’ is the most suitable antonym for the word “Specious”. Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
