In the question, four alternatives are given for the underlined word in the sentence. Choose the alternative which best expresses the opposite meaning of the word. I
t was as if the newer hybrids had an insatiable appetite for chemicals.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Satisfiable.
The word "insatiable" means "impossible to satisfy" or "always craving more." Its opposite is "satisfiable," meaning "capable of being satisfied."
The other options do not convey the opposite meaning:
"Urgent" and "pressing" mean something requiring immediate attention, unrelated to satisfaction.
"Curbed" means restrained or controlled, which is not the opposite of "insatiable."
