Question:

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM for the given word.
Support

Options:

Hostility

Derogatory

Antipathy

Neglect

Correct Answer:

Neglect

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym for the word support is neglect.

  • Support means to give assistance to someone or something, especially financially or morally.
  • Neglect means to fail to give proper attention or care to someone or something.

The other words do not have the same meaning as support and are therefore not antonyms.

  • Hostility means a feeling of intense dislike or aversion.
  • Derogatory means showing a critical or disrespectful attitude.
  • Antipathy means a feeling of dislike or aversion.
