Macbeth is a/an **abominable** figure.
EnglishAntonyms
- Aabhorrent
- Brepugnant
- Creputable
- Dattractive
Explanation
'Abominable' means causing moral revulsion, detestable. Its antonym must lie in the same moral dimension: 'reputable,' respectable and of good character. 'Abhorrent' and 'repugnant' are synonyms of 'abominable,' while 'attractive' concerns pleasing appearance, not moral character, and is no true opposite. Hence (c) is correct.
