Correct Answer: Admirable


Solution : The correct antonym is the third option.

Explanation : Abominable means causing moral revulsion or strong dislike, and its opposite, meaning deserving admiration or approval is admirable . The prefix "ab-" in "abominable" conveys a negative sense, while "ad-" in "admirable" conveys a positive sense.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Worthy : This word is not the correct antonym.
  • Delectable : This word means delightful or delicious.
  • Detestable: This word describes something or someone worthy of intense dislike or abhorrence.
