Antonyms

Question:

Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word.

Goodwill

Options:

Hostility

Felicity

Insanity

Facility

Correct Answer:

Hostility

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word goodwill is hostility.

  • Goodwill means "a kindly feeling of approval and support: benevolent interest or concern."
  • Hostility means "a feeling of intense dislike or aversion."

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

  • Felicity means "happiness or great good fortune."
  • Insanity means "a severe mental disorder characterized by delusions, hallucinations, and impaired judgment."
  • Facility means "ease or readiness in doing something."
