Question:

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

Malice

Options:

Goodwill

Humility

Hypocrisy

Truth

Correct Answer:

Goodwill

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word malice is goodwill.

  • Malice means "the intention or desire to do evil to someone."
  • Goodwill means "a feeling of goodwill or benevolence towards someone."

The other words have different meanings to malice, so they are not good antonyms.

  • Humility means "the quality of being humble."
  • Hypocrisy means "the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform."
  • Truth means "the state of being in accordance with fact or reality."
