Select the word that is opposite in meaning (ANTONYM) to the word given below

Polarize

Options:

Combine

Orchestrate

Conjoin

Segregate

Correct Answer:

Segregate

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4. Segregate.

"Polarize" means to divide or separate into opposing groups or factions, often creating extreme differences or viewpoints between them. For example, in politics, a controversial issue might polarize people into two distinct camps with opposing opinions.

On the other hand, "segregate" means to separate or isolate one group from another, often based on factors such as race, ethnicity, or beliefs. It involves keeping things apart rather than bringing them together.

So, in this context, "segregate" is indeed a suitable antonym for "polarize."
