Reprieve

Options:

Turn out

Torrential

Cease

Continuation

Correct Answer:

Continuation

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word "reprieve" is continuation.

  • Reprieve means "a temporary postponement of something, especially a punishment."
  • Continuation means "the act of continuing or the state of being continued."

The other words do not have the same meaning as "reprieve."

  • Turn out means "to happen or be the case in the end."
  • Torrential means "falling or flowing in a great or overwhelming stream."
  • Cease means "to stop or bring to an end."
