Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Correct answer: Miracle

Definition: casualty — a person killed or injured in an accident, war, or disaster; more generally, harm or loss resulting from an adverse event.

  • Why “Miracle” is correct: A casualty implies harm or loss, while a miracle implies an extraordinary positive or beneficial occurrence. This makes “Miracle” the best antonym among the choices.

  • Why “disaster” is incorrect: A disaster is a harmful event that often produces casualties, so it is similar or related in meaning rather than opposite.

  • Why “usual” and “common” are incorrect: These mean ordinary or frequent and do not express the opposite of harm, injury, or loss.
