Choose the word opposite in meaning for CHEAP.

The correct answer is B) Expensive. Cheap means costing little or low in price, and its direct opposite is expensive, meaning costing a great deal. This is a straightforward antonym pair, and the question tests whether you can pick the exact opposite rather than a loosely related word.

• A) Mean is wrong. In one sense it means stingy, so it sits close to cheap in the sense of miserly, not opposite to it.
• C) Expansive is wrong. It means wide-ranging or extensive, or, for a person, outgoing and talkative. It only looks like expensive.
• D) Ordinary is wrong. It means common or usual, which says nothing about whether a price is high or low.

The core concept is antonymy in the English vocabulary section, where precision of meaning matters more than a feel for the word. Build the habit of noting the primary meaning of each word, since this helps in comprehension and in writing answers with the right tone.

Trap: Choosing expansive because it sounds like expensive. Look at meaning, not sound.
