She must have an (affinity) for women with dark hair.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Dislike.

The term "affinity" refers to a spontaneous fondness or attraction to something. Conversely, its opposite would be an absence of interest or appeal.

The other options do not convey the opposite meaning:

Tendency refers to an inclination or habitual behavior, which is not directly opposite to "affinity."

Dodge means to avoid something, which is unrelated to the concept of affinity.

Stand refers to a position or opinion, which does not oppose the idea of having an affinity.
