I could not think of clergy! All I could think was pastor, minister, preacher, priest.... Took me quite awhile to think of permanent, too. I tried everlasting, eternal, forever.... Also shouldn't expert count in place of professional?

I know that there is no such thing as a perfect antonym, and I still got the answer so I'm not complaining for that reason, but I still think dystopia is a very bad "antonym" for utopia. A dystopia, in the classic sense of the word, is a place or time that *seems* idyllic in most ways but where there is something off or wrong, often horribly, but still... not a total nightmarish hellscape or anything which is what I would imagine the opposite of utopia to be. The post-apocalyptic world of Mad Max is the opposite of a utopia. The world of Soylent Green is a dystopia... everything seems cool, they've solved world hunger, there are 1970s era computer games in every home, and soylent green is delicious and comes in groovy colors... but... there's just one thing that's not quite right... Other good examples of stories with dystopian worlds would be Equilibrium, Logan's Run, or Surrogates. Stories that are definitely not dystopian stories include The Terminator or Hunger Games.

'Dystopia' has been largely redefined over the past few decades, and it now more generally fits a dark version of the future. It's true that when it was first created it meant what you've described, but the definition has changed, mostly so that we even HAVE a good word to define such stories. I mean, 'hell' isn't really a great descriptor for them, and I imagine libraries wouldn't be happy adding a section by that name.

Some of these antonyms are very flexible, and there are plenty of acceptable answers that should have been included - for instance, 'liege' for vassal and 'boon' for curse (since it doesn't specify whether it's the noun or verb version of curse).

27 / 27 with 2:36 remaining - technically, parallel is not an antonym of perpendicular; vertical is not an antonym of horizontal; the one is simply rotated 90 degrees from the other. Everyone would automatically supply the expected answer, but there are better choices for antonym pairs to use in the test. Jus' sayin' ...

Polyandry is a subset of polygamy, not its antonym.

Polygyny = marriage to more than one woman

Polyandry = marriage to more than one man

Parallel is not an antonym for perpendicular - it implies two lines and would be an antonym for divergent lines.

Acceptable antonyms for perpendicular would be horizontal, level and such like.

I think that a lot of the comments asking for various possible antonyms to be includes miss the point. This quiz is about standard pairs of antonyms. For pretty much every one you could easily come up with many other words with the opposite meaning, But these are the most obvious and common pairs often relying on shared stems. For this reason arguments about the exact relationship between utopia and dystopia are otiose. It's completely obvious that if the first word is utopia the second will be dystopia.

Antonyms and synonyms are hard to use in quizzes because there are so many options that fit the prompt. I did get all these, most by simply changing the prefix, but some took several tries. E.g., for "perpendicular," "oblique" and "diagonal" should have worked (and are more exact than "parallel"), but didn't. My first thought for "insult" was "praise." Etc.

Also, at least one depends on the meaning of the prompt: the opposite of "fraternity" is also in the "rivalry," "enmity," etc., set.

I love how I thought that Present could be an antonym of Curse so I typed it in and was flabbergasted, as I saw that it was indeed not accepted as the antonym of Curse, but as an antonym of another word, that I had not yet gotten to - Absent. So I basically just randomly guessed a word... Anyway, great quiz, I like quizzes like this, really tests my English as it's not my first language

Tried ward, wish, prayer - couldn't find what you were looking for with 'curse'. I think people fail to realise that this isn't a quiz about naming all relevant antonyms, but instead trying to figure out which specific one the setter was thinking of.
