Antonyms

Question:

Choose the antonym of the word: "INTUITION".

Options:

Reasoning

Instinct

Perception

Invisible

Correct Answer:

Reasoning

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) - Reasoning

  • "Intuition" refers to the ability to understand or know something without conscious reasoning—a gut feeling or instinctive understanding.
  • "Reasoning" is the opposite of intuition because it involves logical thinking, analysis, and conscious decision-making, rather than an immediate, instinctive understanding.

OTHER OPTIONS

  • "Instinct"  → Similar to intuition; both refer to unconscious knowledge or gut feelings.
  • "Perception"  → Refers to the ability to interpret or become aware of something, which is not an opposite of intuition.
  • "Invisible"  → Unrelated in meaning; does not contrast with intuition.
