Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word.
Procure
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Hinder.
The antonym of procure is hinder because "procure" means to obtain something with effort, while "hinder" means to obstruct or prevent, making it the opposite in meaning.
The other options—multiply (to increase), consume (to use up), and abstain (to refrain)—do not directly contrast with "procure."
