English Grammar - Synonyms and Antonyms

Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word: Erudite


Options:

  1. Scholarly
  2. Uninformed
  3. Learned
  4. Intellectual

Right Answer: Uninformed

The adjective 'erudite' describes a person who has great knowledge acquired through wide reading and serious study. It is generally used for scholars, critics and writers whose work shows deep learning. To find its antonym, we must look for a word that suggests the absence of knowledge or study. 'Uninformed' means lacking knowledge or awareness of a subject, which is the direct opposite of erudite. The other three options, scholarly, learned and intellectual, are all close synonyms of erudite and therefore cannot be the answer. Hence the correct antonym is 'Uninformed'.
