Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word in the given sentence.
The CEO called for compulsory participation from each employee.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Voluntary.
The word "compulsory" means something that is mandatory or required. The opposite of this is "voluntary," which means done by free will or choice.
"Compliantly" refers to acting in agreement or obedience, which doesn't relate to the meaning of "compulsory."
"Obligatory" is a synonym of "compulsory," not an antonym.
"Overtly" means openly or visibly, which is unrelated to the context.
Thus, "Voluntary" is the most appropriate antonym.
