Example Question #6 : Antonyms: Adverbs
An antonym of "generally" is __________.
Possible Answers:
rarely
broadly
miserably
pedantically
discretely
Correct answer:
rarely
Explanation:
The adverb "generally" can indicate that something happens in a broad, unspecified manner or that something happens in most cases. For instance we could say, "Generally speaking, it is true that scientists are good at math." We contrast such general speaking to being specific or particular. We can likewise contrast it to something that does not happen usually—i.e. something that happens rarely. For instance, "Generally, it does not rain in Southern California. However, it does rarely happen that it rains quite a bit in short bursts."
