Correct Answer:
A. Fragrant
Correct answer: Fragrant. Malodorous means foul-smelling, so “fragrant” (sweet-smelling) is its opposite.
Background: “Mal-” means bad, and “odorous” means smelling.
- Rotten: “Rotten” describes decay and often a bad smell.
- Stinking: “Stinking” means having a bad smell.
- Smelly: “Smelly” means having a bad smell.
Did you know? The opposite can also be “aromatic”.
Memory trick: Mal = bad; opposite = fragrant.
