Antonyms

Question:

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

Friendship

Options:

Slavery

Enmity

Amity

Arrogance

Correct Answer:

Enmity

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word friendship is enmity.

  • Friendship means "the state of being friends; a relationship of mutual affection between people."
  • Enmity means "the state of being enemies; a feeling of hatred or hostility towards someone."

The other words have different meanings to friendship, so they are not good antonyms.

  • Slavery means "the state of being a slave; the condition of being under the control of another person."
  • Amity means "friendship; a state of peace and friendship between people or nations."
  • Arrogance means "having or showing an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities."
