Antonyms

Question:

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

Desiderate

Options:

Quarrel

Disregard

Acquire

Mandate

Correct Answer:

Disregard

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word desiderate is disregard.

  • Desiderate means "to long for or wish for something."
  • Disregard means "to pay no attention to or to treat as unimportant."

The other words have different meanings to desiderate, so they are not good antonyms.

  • Quarrel means "to argue or disagree angrily."
  • Acquire means "to get or obtain something."
  • Mandate means "an official order or instruction."
