Back to paper

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

Mandatory

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Optional.

  • Mandatory: Required, obligatory, or compulsory.
  • Optional: Voluntary, not required, left to one's choice.

  • So, "Optional" is the antonym because it signifies something that is not mandatory.

  • The other options, "Imperative," "Requisite," and "Unavoidable," are synonyms or closely related to "Mandatory" rather than being antonyms.
