Choose the most appropriate antonym of the underlined word.

And death and bereavement are hardly the only troubles that this conflict brings to a Palestinian childhood.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Comfort

"Bereavement" refers to the state of loss, especially after the death of a loved one, and often involves feelings of grief and sorrow.

The antonym "comfort" refers to a state of physical ease and emotional consolation, which is the opposite of grief and distress.

The other options do not convey the opposite meaning of bereavement.
