Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

BEWILDER

Options:

weaken

enlighten

terrify

confuse

Correct Answer:

enlighten

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2. enlighten.

"Bewilder" means to cause someone to become confused, puzzled, or perplexed. It's a state where someone feels lost or uncertain due to not understanding something.

The antonym "enlighten" means to provide knowledge or understanding to someone, usually by explaining something to them in a clear and understandable way. It's the opposite of bewilderment because it brings clarity and comprehension.

Therefore, "enlighten" is the most appropriate antonym for "bewilder" as it represents the act of providing understanding or clarity rather than confusion.
