Choose the word that is the antonym of Edge.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Correct Answer
Center
Explanation
The question asks for the antonym of the word "Edge". An edge refers to the outside limit, periphery, or boundary of an object, area, or surface. Therefore, "Center", which refers to the middle point or the part farthest from the outer boundaries, is the exact opposite or antonym.
Option 1 (Border), Option 2 (Rim), and Option 4 (Margin) are all synonyms of "Edge". They each describe the outermost line, frame, or boundary of something, making them incorrect choices for a question seeking an antonym.
Key Points
Antonym questions on your exam paper often feature multiple synonyms among the options to trick you into choosing a word with a similar meaning. Carefully verifying whether the question asks for a synonym or an antonym ensures you don't pick a boundary word like rim or margin when you need the center.
