Which one of the following options is the closest in meaning to the word given below? Nadir A. Highest B. Lowest C. Medium D. Integration

GATE 2013 · General Aptitude · Synonyms · medium

Answer: B. Lowest

  1. Define Nadir: 'Nadir' literally means the point of the celestial sphere directly opposite the zenith, i.e., directly below the observer. Figuratively it means the lowest point or state of something (opposite of zenith which means the peak or highest).
  2. Match to options: A. Highest = opposite of nadir. B. Lowest = matches nadir perfectly. C. Medium = middle, not lowest. D. Integration = a process of combining; no relation to nadir.
  3. Confirm answer: Option B (Lowest) is the synonym of 'Nadir'.
