Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word.
The army advanced into enemy territory.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Retreated.
Advanced means to go or move something forward, or to develop or improve something. Here, the sentence refers to the fact that the army moved forward i.e. advanced into the enemy territory.
Retreated is the correct antonym as it means to move backwards in order to leave a battle or in order not to become involved in a battle.
Hence, the sentence becomes:- The army retreated into enemy territory.
