Question:

What is the antonym of the word ‘buy’ ?

Options:

purchase

gain

sell

trade

Correct Answer:

sell

Explanation:

The antonym of the word buy is sell.

  • Buy means to acquire something by paying money for it.
  • Sell means to transfer the ownership of something in exchange for money.

The other words do not have the same meaning as buy and are therefore not antonyms.

  • Purchase means to buy something.
  • Gain means to acquire something, especially as a result of effort or good fortune.
  • Trade means to exchange goods or services for other goods or services.
