Q18
EnglishVocabulary: Meaning, Synonyms & Antonyms
The antonym of the word superficial is
- a.Deep
- b.Artificial
- c.Apparent
- d.True
Answer: (A) Deep
'Superficial' means on the surface or lacking depth (a superficial wound, superficial knowledge), so the direct antonym is 'deep' (also profound, thorough). 'Artificial' is a rhyming distractor meaning man-made, 'apparent' means seeming or obvious and is closer to a synonym, and 'true' is the antonym of 'false', not of 'superficial'.
