Question: 1 / 400

What would be the opposite of 'enormous'?

Impressive

Minuscule

The word 'enormous' refers to something that is very large in size or extent. To find the opposite, we look for a term that denotes something very small. The term 'minuscule' specifically means extremely small or tiny, which directly contrasts with the vastness implied by 'enormous.' This makes it the most suitable opposite in this context.

The other options, while they suggest different sizes or qualities, do not convey the same direct opposition to 'enormous.' 'Impressive' pertains to the quality of being commendable or awe-inspiring without reference to size. 'Massive' indicates something that is large, often similar in size to 'enormous,' and 'substantial' implies a considerable amount or degree, but again does not suggest smallness. Thus, 'minuscule' is the only term that accurately represents the opposite of 'enormous.'
