Confound
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Assure.
"Confound" means to confuse or bewilder, while "assure" means to make someone feel confident. The two words are opposites in the sense that one involves creating confusion and the other involves providing clarity and confidence.
The other options, "expire," "discern," and "suppress," do not directly oppose the meaning of "confound."
