NDA (I) 2021 General Ability Test · Question 13 of 149

Correct — B, opaque. Here 'clear' means transparent and easy to see through, and its opposite is 'opaque', which means not able to be seen through, so it is the correct antonym.

• (a)bright — 'Bright' means full of light; it is not the opposite of 'clear'.
• (c)cloudless — 'Cloudless' means free of clouds — a synonym of a clear sky, not its opposite.
• (d)blue — 'Blue' names a colour; it has no opposite relationship with 'clear'.

An antonym item — 'clear' means transparent, so its opposite is 'opaque' (not see-through); 'cloudless' is a near-synonym placed as a trap.
