Select the most appropriate antonym of the word.
DIMINISH
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The most appropriate antonym of the word diminish is increase.
- Diminish means "to make or become less in size, amount, or importance."
- Increase means "to make or become greater in size, amount, or importance."
The other words do not have the same meaning as diminish, so they are not its antonyms.
- Decrease means "to make or become less in size, amount, or number."
- Shrink means "to become smaller in size or extent."
- Decline means "to become less in size, amount, or importance."
