Choose the word that describes the best antonym (opposite) of the following words.
Conceded
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The best antonym for the word conceded is denied.
- Conceded means to admit or yield to something, especially after a contest or argument.
- Denied means to refuse to admit or accept something.
So, the opposite of conceding something is to deny it. For example, if someone concedes a point in an argument, they are admitting that they were wrong. The opposite of this would be to deny the point, which means to insist that they were right.
