Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

COMPLETE

partial

The correct answer is option 3. partial.

The word "complete" means finished, whole, or containing all necessary parts. When something is complete, it lacks nothing and is fully done or realized.

The antonym "partial" refers to something that is incomplete or unfinished, lacking some parts or aspects. It implies a state of incompleteness or partiality, suggesting that there is more to be done or added to achieve completeness.

Therefore, "partial" is the appropriate antonym for "complete" as it signifies the opposite state of lacking completeness or entirety.
