Antonyms

Question:

Select the correct antonym of the given word.

Allure

Options:

Revive

Rewind

Repulse

Attract

Correct Answer:

Repulse

Explanation:

The correct antonym of the word "allure" is repulse.

  • Allure means "to attract or tempt someone with something considered to be desirable."
  • Repulse means "to cause someone to feel disgust or aversion."

The other answer choices are not as good antonyms of "allure" because they do not have the same meaning of "disgust or aversion."

  • Revive means "to bring back to life or consciousness."
  • Rewind means "to turn back or reverse the course of events."
  • Attract means "to draw someone's attention or interest."
