Select the antonym of the given word.

Attract

Options:

Lure

Allure

Repel

Invite

Correct Answer:

Repel

Explanation:

The antonym of the word attract is repel.

  • Attract means "to draw (someone or something) towards oneself or oneself towards (someone or something) by a force or influence."
  • Repel means "to drive or force (someone or something) away by a force or influence."

The other words do not have the same meaning as attract, so they are not its antonyms.

  • Allure means "to attract or tempt (someone) with something that is desirable."
  • Invite means "to ask (someone) to come to a place or event."
