English Grammar - Synonyms and Antonyms

Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word: Cacophony


Options:

  1. Noise
  2. Harmony
  3. Dissonance
  4. Clamor

Right Answer: Harmony

'Cacophony' refers to a harsh, jarring mixture of sounds, often unpleasant to the ear, commonly used to describe chaotic noise. To find its antonym, we need a word that conveys pleasant, ordered sound. 'Harmony' means a pleasing combination or agreement of sounds, which is the direct opposite of discordant noise. 'Noise', 'Dissonance', and 'Clamor' are all synonyms or near-synonyms of cacophony itself, describing unpleasant or loud sounds rather than their opposite. Since the question asks for an antonym, only 'Harmony' represents the contrasting concept of pleasant, well-ordered sound. The correct answer is option 2, Harmony.
