Explanation:

The word picayune means small, unimportant, petty, or insignificant. It is used to describe something that has very little value, importance, or impact.

The opposite of picayune is colossal, which means very large, enormous, impressive, or extremely important.

Therefore, Colossal is the correct antonym (opposite word) of Picayune.

Think about a student preparing for exams.

• Forgetting to bring an extra pen is a picayune problem because it is a small issue that can be solved easily.
