Question:

Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word.

AFFINITY

Options:

aversion

weakness

inclination

attraction

Correct Answer:

aversion

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1. aversion.

"Affinity" refers to a natural liking or connection towards something or someone. It implies a strong attraction or fondness based on similarities or shared characteristics.

On the other hand, "aversion" is the opposite of affinity. It refers to a strong dislike or repulsion towards something or someone. Aversion implies a feeling of distaste or unwillingness to be associated with the object of aversion.

Therefore, in the context of antonyms, "aversion" is the most appropriate choice as it represents the opposite of "affinity," indicating a strong dislike or repulsion instead of a natural liking or connection.
