EnglishVocabulary: Meaning, Synonyms & Antonyms
Choose the correct meaning of the word from the alternatives given below: Classic ______.
- a.of the first or highest quality
- b.a long list
- c.loose, flowing robe
- d.sanctified
Answer: (A) of the first or highest quality
As an adjective 'classic' means of the first or highest quality and of lasting value; as a noun it means an outstanding work (a classic of Bengali literature). Do not confuse it with 'classical', which relates to ancient Greek and Roman culture or to a traditional, established form (classical music). The other options are definitions of other words: a long list (catalogue/litany), a loose flowing robe (gown/cassock), sanctified (holy).
