Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C. दनुज – दानव
Explanation
'दनुज' and 'दानव' both mean demon, so they are synonyms, not opposites; the opposite of दानव would be देव or सुर. New–old, ill-intentioned–well-intentioned and movable–immovable are genuine antonym pairs. Hence दनुज – दानव is inconsistent.'दनुज' तथा 'दानव' दोनों का अर्थ राक्षस है, अतः ये पर्यायवाची हैं, विलोम नहीं; दानव का विलोम देव अथवा सुर होगा। नूतन–पुरातन, दुराशय–सदाशय तथा जंगम–स्थावर सच्चे विलोम-युग्म हैं। अतः दनुज – दानव असंगत है।More Hindi Language & Pedagogy questions
