Question:

Select the word opposite in meaning to the given word: Altruistic

Options:

Compassionate

Constant

Selfish

Intelligent

Correct Answer:

Selfish

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Selfish

The word altruistic means showing a selfless concern for the well-being of others. The opposite of that would be selfish, which means being concerned only with one's own personal gain or pleasure.

 

  • Compassionate: Feeling or showing sympathy and concern for others. This is a near synonym or a related positive trait.

  • Constant: Occurring continuously over a period of time; unchanging. This is unrelated.

  • Intelligent: Having or showing intelligence, especially of a high level. This is unrelated.
