Choose the most appropriate antonym for the word: Inundate.

Options:

Overwhelm

Drain

Flood

Unyielding

Correct Answer:

Drain

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Drain

Explanation:
Inundate means to flood or overwhelm, especially with water or with things like work, requests, or information.

The most appropriate antonym is Drain, which means to remove liquid or empty out — the opposite of flooding or inundating.

  • Overwhelm and Flood are synonyms, not antonyms.

  • Unyielding is unrelated in meaning.
