Question:

Which word in the given sentence is the ANTONYM of – jeopardy?

We were reluctant to leave the relative safety of our hotel.

Options:

leave

relative

safety

reluctant

Correct Answer:

safety

Explanation:

The word jeopardy means "danger or risk of loss or injury." The antonym of jeopardy is safety.

In the sentence, "We were reluctant to leave the relative safety of our hotel," the word safety is the antonym of jeopardy because it means "the condition of being safe from or not exposed to danger or risk." The other words in the sentence do not have the same meaning as jeopardy, so they are not its antonyms.

  • Leave means "to go away from or depart from a place."
  • Relative means "compared to something else; in relation to something else."
  • Reluctant means "not wanting to do something; hesitant."
