Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word.
The enemy, even if it is a child, is a challenge and needs to be removed from his path.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. solution.
The underlined word in the sentence is 'challenge':
'The enemy, even if it is a child, is a challenge and needs to be removed from his path.'
A challenge refers to:
A difficult task or obstacle that requires effort to overcome.
Something that tests one’s abilities.
Now, we need the antonym (word with the opposite meaning):
The opposite of a challenge would be something that resolves difficulty, something that makes things easier — and that is a solution.
Why the other options are incorrect:
Threat
- A threat is even more negative than a challenge — not opposite in meaning.
Nuisance
- A nuisance is something annoying, not exactly the opposite of a challenge.
Problem
- A problem is similar in meaning to a challenge, not its opposite.
