SSC GD Const (English) - 22 Feb 2024 - Shift 4 • English • Q10

Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word.

Investment

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

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

The antonym of "Investment" is "Divestment" because "investment" involves putting money or resources into something with the expectation of future returns, whereas "divestment" refers to the act of selling off or withdrawing investments, typically to reduce financial exposure or risk.

"Outline" refers to a summary or plan, "Endowment" is a donation or fund, and "Goody" refers to a treat or something desirable, none of which are opposites of "investment."
