Question:

Choose the word that is opposite in meaning to the given word:

Curtailed

Options:

Slashed

Lengthened

Pruned

Trimmed

Correct Answer:

Lengthened

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2. Lengthened.

"Curtailed" means to reduce, decrease, or shorten something, often by cutting back or limiting it.

The opposite of curtailed would be to make something longer or extend it. So, "Lengthened" is the appropriate choice, as it means to increase in length or duration, thereby representing the opposite meaning to "Curtailed."
