Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation:
Sensational: Something described as sensational causes great public interest or excitement; it can be shocking or startling.
Prosaic: Prosaic means ordinary, dull, or lacking imagination.
Why 'prosaic' is the correct antonym: 'sensational' = exciting or shocking; 'prosaic' = ordinary or dull, so they are opposites in meaning.
Why the other choices are incorrect:
Sensorial relates to the senses and does not mean the opposite of 'sensational'.
Burdensome means heavy or oppressive, which is unrelated to the meaning of 'sensational'.
Challenging means demanding or testing; it is not an antonym of 'sensational'.
