{'underlined word': [0, 0, 0, 20], 'mahatma gandhi': [20, 5, 4, 18], 'leaders': [1, 2, 5, 10], 'item': [1, 0, 1, 20], 'options': [1, 1, 0, 21]}

In this question, we are asked to find the option that is opposite in meaning to the underlined word "prominent" in the sentence. The word "prominent" means well-known, important, or famous.

Option 1: "Renowned" is a synonym of "prominent" and means famous or well-known. So, this option is not opposite in meaning to "prominent".

Option 2: "Distinguishable" means able to be recognized or differentiated. It is not synonymous with "prominent" but is not opposite in meaning either as it doesn`t imply the opposite of being well-known or famous.

Option 3: "Eminent" means famous or respected within a particular sphere or profession. It is similar to the meaning of "prominent" and not opposite.

Option 4: "Unknown" is the correct answer as it is the opposite of "prominent". It means not known or recognized.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4 and it is the only option that is opposite in meaning to the underlined word "prominent".
