Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.
Latent

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Manifest.

The word 'latent' means hidden, concealed, or not yet visible or active — something that exists but is not currently expressed or observable.

Let’s evaluate the options:

Manifest – Means clearly visible, obvious, or evident. This is the direct antonym of 'latent'.

Punctual – Means on time. This relates to timing, not visibility or presence.

Antique – Means old or ancient. This refers to age, not whether something is hidden or visible. 

Early – Refers to time or timing, not to whether something is hidden or shown.
