Antonyms

Question:

Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word.

Captivity

Options:

Liberty

Imprisonment

Cheer

Offense

Correct Answer:

Liberty

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word captivity is liberty.

  • Captivity means "the state of being confined or imprisoned."
  • Liberty means "the state of being free from confinement or restriction."

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

  • Imprisonment means "the state of being confined in a prison."
  • Cheer means "to feel or express happiness or joy."
  • Offense means "a wrong or offense that causes anger or resentment."
