Question:

Select the option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the given group of words/phrase.

Having two opposing feelings at the same time

Options:

Contemporary

Coinciding

Ambivalent

Equivalent

Correct Answer:

Ambivalent

Explanation:
 

The word that best describes the state of having two opposing feelings at the same time is ambivalent.

  • Contemporary means existing or happening at the same time.
  • Coinciding means happening at the same time.
  • Equivalent means equal in value or meaning.

The word ambivalent is the most appropriate because it specifically refers to having two contradictory or conflicting feelings towards something or someone. The other words do not have the same connotation of being someone who is experiencing two opposing emotions at the same time.
