English Grammar - Synonyms and Antonyms

Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word: Puissant


Options:

  1. Feeble
  2. Robust
  3. Powerful
  4. Strong

Right Answer: Feeble

'Puissant' is a somewhat literary adjective meaning having great power, influence or authority, and it is related to the French verb 'pouvoir', meaning to be able. A puissant monarch is a mighty one. An antonym must therefore express weakness or lack of strength. Among the options, 'feeble' means lacking physical or moral force and is the direct opposite, so it is the correct answer. The other three are traps because 'robust', 'powerful' and 'strong' are all synonyms of puissant rather than antonyms. Hence the correct answer is Feeble.
