Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B. अभिमानी – निरभिमानी
Explanation
वैमनस्य–सौमनस्य, अभ्यर्थी–प्रत्यर्थी and स्वार्थी–निस्स्वार्थ are established antonym pairs. In अभिमानी – निरभिमानी the second word is only the negated form of the first, not an accepted विलोम; the standard antonym of अभिमानी is विनम्र / नम्र.वैमनस्य–सौमनस्य, अभ्यर्थी–प्रत्यर्थी तथा स्वार्थी–निस्स्वार्थ मान्य विलोम-युग्म हैं। अभिमानी – निरभिमानी में दूसरा शब्द पहले का केवल नञ्-निषेध रूप है, मान्य विलोम नहीं; अभिमानी का मानक विलोम विनम्र / नम्र है।More Hindi Language & Pedagogy questions
