Defile
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The most appropriate antonym of the word defile is purify.
- Defile means "to make something dirty, unclean, or impure."
- Purify means "to make something clean, pure, or undefiled."
The other words do not have the same meaning as defile, so they are not its antonyms.
- Regularize means "to make something regular or orderly."
- Labor means "to work hard or strenuously."
- Particularize means "to give specific details or information."
