Question:

Choose the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

AFFLUENT

Options:

Entrench 

Mannerism

Inability

Deprived 

Correct Answer:

Deprived 

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word affluent is deprived.

  • Affluent means "having a great deal of money or possessions."
  • Deprived means "lacking the necessities of life or the means to acquire them."

The other words do not have the same meaning as deprived.

  • Entrench means "to establish (something) firmly or permanently."
  • Mannerism means "a distinctive way of behaving or speaking that is characteristic of a particular person or group."
  • Inability means "the state of being unable to do something."
