Select the appropriate antonym for the underlined word.

We should have warned you that they were coming.

imperiled 

The correct answer is option 2. imperiled.

In the given sentence, "warned" implies providing information about a potential threat or impending event to ensure preparedness or safety. It involves communicating a sense of caution or alertness to the recipient.

On the other hand, "predicted" means forecasting or foreseeing an event based on analysis, observation, or evidence. Unlike "warned," "predicted" doesn't necessarily convey a sense of urgency or caution; it simply indicates that someone anticipates or expects an event to occur in the future.

Therefore, in the context of the sentence, "predicted" serves as the antonym of "warned" because it represents the act of anticipating or forecasting without necessarily advising or alerting about potential dangers or events.
