Question #680

The word 'rare' refers to something that is not occurring frequently or is hard to find (அரிதான). To find its antonym, we look for a word that means occurring frequently or ordinary. Let us break down the given options: 1. Option A ('difficult'): Means hard or not easy. 2. Option B ('dear'): Means beloved or costly. 3. Option C ('common'): Means ordinary, widespread, or found frequently, which is the exact opposite of 'rare'. 4. Option D ('Uncommon'): Means rare or unusual, making it a synonym, not an antonym. Hence, the correct antonym for 'rare' is Option C ('common').
