Solitude

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Company.

Explanation:

  • Victim: A victim is someone who has suffered harm or distress due to a specific event or situation. This word is unrelated to solitude.

  • Ex-serviceman: An ex-serviceman refers to a person who used to serve in the military but has retired or left the service. This word is unrelated to solitude.

  • Individual: An individual refers to a single person, separate and distinct from others. While solitude can involve being alone, an individual can still experience solitude even when surrounded by others.

  • Company: Company refers to the presence or companionship of others. The antonym of solitude, company implies being with others, thus providing the opposite meaning to solitude.

In the context of solitude, where it means being alone and isolated, "Company" represents the opposite situation, where there are people around, providing companionship and interaction.
