Antonym of VIRTUOUS

scandalous
vicious
wicked
corrupt

The correct answer is: A. scandalous

A virtuous person is one who is morally good and upright. A scandalous person is one who is involved in a scandal, which is an action or event that is considered to be morally wrong or shameful.

B. vicious means cruel or violent.
C. wicked means morally bad or evil.
D. corrupt means dishonest or morally depraved.

All of these words are negative in meaning, but they do not all mean the opposite of virtuous. A person can be virtuous and still be involved in a scandal, for example. However, a scandalous person is not necessarily virtuous.
