Question:

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

Attract

Options:

Flex

Repel

Rash

Destroy

Correct Answer:

Repel

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word attract is repel.

  • Attract means "to draw something or someone towards oneself or oneself towards something."
  • Repel means "to drive or force something or someone away."

The other words have different meanings to attract, so they are not good antonyms.

  • Flex means "to bend or curve suddenly or forcibly."
  • Rash means "hasty or impulsive."
  • Destroy means "to put an end to the existence of something."
