Question

read the passage. then, select the antonym of the word in bold.

in the early 1800s, jacob and wilhelm grimm collected hundreds of germanic folk tales. many of the fairy tales, such as \snow white,\ \hansel and gretel,\ and \little red riding hood,\ are familiar to most americans today. these stories are still widely read and have served as the basis of thousands of remakes. others, however, are more obscure. have you ever heard of \the girl with no hands\ or \the mouse, the bird, and the sausage\?

Explanation:

To solve this, we first understand the meaning of "obscure", which means not well - known or hidden. Then we look for a word that has the opposite meaning. The word "familiar" (from the sentence "Many of the fairy tales... are familiar to most Americans today") means well - known, which is the opposite of "obscure".

1. Determine the meaning of "obscure" (not well - known).
2. Find a word with the opposite meaning from the passage. "Familiar" means well - known, so it is the antonym of "obscure".

Answer:

familiar
