Choose the word that describes the best antonym (opposite) of the following words.
Abandoned

Options:

Saved

Supported

Pleased

Encouraged

Correct Answer:

Supported

Explanation:

he best antonym for the word "abandoned" is Option 1: Saved.

  • Abandoned means "to leave someone or something in a helpless or hopeless situation."
  • Saved means "to rescue someone or something from danger or harm."

So, the opposite of something that is abandoned would be something that is rescued from danger or harm.

The other options are not as accurate antonyms for "abandoned."

Option 2, "supported," means "to provide help or assistance to someone or something."

Option 3, "pleased," means "feeling happy or satisfied."

Option 4, "encouraged," means "to give someone hope or confidence."
