Select the correct antonym for the word: PURGE

Contaminate

The correct answer is Option (1) → Contaminate

Purge means to cleanse, remove impurities, or eliminate unwanted elements.
Contaminate means to make impure by adding harmful or undesirable substances — the opposite of purging.

Other options:

Option (2): Truncate – means to shorten by cutting off; unrelated to cleansing or impurity.

Option (3): Conceal – means to hide; not the opposite of purge, which focuses on removal or cleansing, not visibility.

Option (4): Complicate – means to make more difficult or complex; unrelated to the idea of purification.
