Find the antonym of the word EULOGY from the options given:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Criticism

The antonym of a word is a term that conveys the opposite meaning. In this case, the word "EULOGY" refers to high praise or commendation, typically delivered at events like funerals or memorial services to honor a person's life and virtues. "Criticism" is the antonym because it involves making negative judgments or expressing disapproval, which is contrary to the positive and praiseful nature of a eulogy.

1. Sarcasm: Sarcasm refers to the use of irony to mock or convey contempt. It's not directly opposite to "eulogy," which is a speech or piece of writing that praises someone or something highly, typically someone who has just died.

2. High Praise: This option is not the antonym because a eulogy itself is a form of high praise, so it's not the opposite.

3. Exaggeration: Exaggeration involves making something seem larger, better, worse, or more important than it actually is. While a eulogy might include some elements of praise that could be perceived as exaggerated, "exaggeration" is not the direct opposite of "eulogy."
