Antonyms

Question:

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

Overrun

Options:

Surrender

Inundate

Storm

Invade

Correct Answer:

Surrender

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word overrun is surrender.

  • Overrun means "to spread over or occupy (a place) in large numbers."
  • Surrender means "to give oneself up to the power of another; yield."

The other words do not have the same meaning as overrun, so they are not its antonyms.

  • Inundate means "to flood or cover with water."
  • Storm means "to attack or invade (a place) with violence."
  • Invade means "to enter (a country, region, or place) with an armed force, especially with the intention of conquest."
