Correct Answer:
A. Extraordinary
Explanation:
The correct answer is Extraordinary because quotidian denotes things that are daily, mundane, or ordinary, which directly contrasts with something rare or remarkable.
- Extraordinary: This is the correct choice. 'Quotidian' originates from the Latin quotidie (meaning 'every day'). Since it describes routine, commonplace events, its precise semantic antonym is something that is out of the ordinary, rare, or exceptional.
- Incorrect Options:
- Wishful: This is incorrect. It describes having or expressing a desire for something to happen that is highly unrealistic.
- Premature: This is incorrect. It describes something occurring or done before the proper, expected time.
