Correct Answer:
D. Homespun
This question requires identifying the antonym of sartorial. Knowing the definition of the word is key.
- (D) Homespun is the correct antonym. "Sartorial" relates to tailoring, clothes, or style of dress, often implying elegance, refinement, or sophistication in attire. "Homespun" refers to something simple, plain, unsophisticated, or rustic, often made at home, directly contrasting with the refined nature implied by "sartorial."
- (A) Elegant is incorrect because it is a synonym or closely related concept to "sartorial," describing something graceful and stylish.
- (B) Stylish is incorrect as it is also a synonym, meaning fashionable and elegant.
- (C) Refined is incorrect because it is a synonym, meaning elegant and cultured in appearance, manner, or taste.
Thus, "Homespun" is the most fitting opposite.
