Question:

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word.

Sukhen always seeks to capitalise on opportunities.

Options:

dismantle

destroy

forfeit

seize

Correct Answer:

forfeit

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the underlined word "capitalise" is forfeit.

  • Capitalise means "to make use of or benefit from an opportunity."
  • Forfeit means "to lose something as a penalty for breaking a rule or law."

The other words do not have the same meaning as "capitalise."

  • Dismantle means "to take apart something, especially a piece of machinery."
  • Destroy means "to cause something to be completely ruined or broken."
  • Seize means "to take control of something by force."
