Choose an option
Answer
Correct Answer: EXPENSIVE
Explanation
Introduction / Context:“Moderate : Intensify” captures semantic opposition along a degree scale. “Nominal” (especially of price/amount) means “very small” or “in name only.” Its opposite on the price scale is “expensive.”
Concept / Approach:Keep both pairs within comparable semantic axes (degree/amount).
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
- MEMORIAL/DISTANCE/CHAOS: Not antonyms of “Nominal.”
- None of these: Invalid because “EXPENSIVE” matches the opposite sense.
Final Answer:EXPENSIVE
