Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word.
My energy waned to see my college team performing poorly in the match.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Grew.
Waned means to decrease or decline gradually in size, extent, or degree.
Grew means to increase or become larger in size, extent, or degree.
In the context of the sentence, "waned" indicates a decrease in energy or enthusiasm. Therefore, "grew" is the antonym that best represents an increase in energy or enthusiasm, which contrasts with the idea of waning.
