Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word. EXHALE |
Respite Inspire Inhale Expel |
Inhale |
The correct answer is option 3. Inhale. "Exhale" refers to the action of breathing out or expelling air from the lungs. The antonym we're looking for should describe the opposite action, which would be the action of breathing in or taking air into the lungs. "Inhale" fits this description perfectly. It means to breathe in or draw air or a substance into the lungs. Therefore, "inhale" is the appropriate antonym for "exhale" because it represents the opposite action—breathing in instead of breathing out. |
