Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word in the following sentence.
The students were asked to assemble in the meeting hall.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Dispersed.
The underlined word "assemble" means to gather or come together in one place.
The antonym (opposite) of assemble is disperse, meaning to scatter or spread out.
Option 1: Put together means similar to assemble, so it’s not an antonym.
Option 3: Collect also means to gather, so it’s not opposite.
Option 4: Gather means to come together, so it’s not the opposite either.
