Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

Emulate

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Neglect.

  • In the context of finding the most appropriate antonym for the word "emulate," which means to imitate or strive to equal or surpass someone or something, "neglect" stands out as the most fitting choice.
  • "Neglect" means to fail to care for or attend to something properly, directly contrasting the proactive and aspirational nature of emulation.
  • While "emulate" involves actively seeking to replicate or achieve the success or qualities of another, "neglect" implies a lack of attention or disregard.
  • The other options provided— "respect," "spoilt," and "bash"—do not accurately capture the opposite meaning of "emulate."

Therefore, "neglect" serves as the most appropriate antonym in this context.
