Choose the word from the options given below that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the given word: Frequency
Options:
(A) periodicity
(B) rarity
(C) gradualness
(D) persistency
Official Answer Key:
B
Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation
'Frequency' denotes how often something occurs. Its direct opposite is 'rarity' — occurring seldom. 'Periodicity' (A) is actually a near-synonym (regular recurrence), and 'gradualness'/'persistency' (C, D) describe manner or duration, not frequency of occurrence, so they are not true opposites. Option (B) is correct.
