Antonyms

Question:

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

Options:

Deducted

Added

Removed

Reclined

Correct Answer:

Removed

Explanation:

The best antonym for the word inserted is removed. OPTION 3

  • Inserted means to put something into something else.
  • Removed means to take something out of something else

    Here's why:

    Inserted - means to put something in, to add it to something else.
    Removed -  means to take something out, the opposite of inserting.
    Deducted -  subtracts something, which is related but not the direct opposite.
    Added -  is a synonym for inserted, not an antonym.
    Reclined - describes a position, not an action related to inserting or removing.
