Q15
EnglishVocabulary: Meaning, Synonyms & Antonyms
The antonym of the word weird is
  1. a.Normal
  2. b.Casual
  3. c.Tired
  4. d.Worried

Answer: (A) Normal

'Weird' means strange, uncanny or unusual, so its antonym is 'normal' (also ordinary, usual, conventional). 'Casual' means relaxed or informal, while 'tired' and 'worried' are states of body and mind - none is opposite in meaning. Synonyms of weird: bizarre, eerie, odd, peculiar, outlandish. Its spelling is also tested, since it breaks the 'i before e' rule.
