Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word.
I object the false claims made against me.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. assent.
Object in this context means to express disagreement or opposition. Assent means to agree or approve.
The other option means:
Ease means to make less difficult or to relax.
Restore means to bring back or return to a previous state.
Ascertain means to find out or determine.
These options do not directly oppose the meaning of "object" in the given sentence.
Therefore, assent is the correct antonym here, as it denotes agreement rather than disagreement.
