Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word to fill in the blank.
Ram failed initially but after a few years, he _________ in every field.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. succeeded.
The sentence talks about Ram failing initially and then doing well later. The word to fill the blank must indicate success to contrast with "failed."
Meaning of Options:
Elevated: Means raised or lifted but does not contrast directly with failure.
Succeeded: This means achieved success, which is the direct opposite of "failed."
Enjoyed: Implies experiencing pleasure but doesn’t fit logically as an antonym of "failed."
Reserved: Refers to being quiet or introverted, unrelated to failure.
"Succeeded" perfectly contrasts "failed" and makes the sentence meaningful.
