Antonyms

Question:

Select the most appropriate antonym of the word.

HARMONY

Options:

Strife

Accord

Consensus

Agreement

Correct Answer:

Strife

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word harmony is strife.

  • Harmony means "the state of being in agreement or concord."
  • Strife means "conflict, disagreement, or dissension."

The other words do not have the same meaning as harmony, so they are not its antonyms.

  • Accord means "a state of agreement or harmony."
  • Consensus means "general agreement or approval."
  • Agreement means "a statement of the terms of an understanding reached by two or more parties."

Therefore, the most appropriate antonym of harmony is strife.
