Select the most appropriate antonym of the word.
FACILITATE
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The most appropriate antonym of the word facilitate is hinder.
- Facilitate means "to make something easier or less difficult."
- Hinder means "to make something more difficult or to delay it."
The other words do not have the same meaning as facilitate, so they are not its antonyms.
- Ease means "to make something less difficult or stressful."
- Encourage means "to give someone the confidence or support to do something."
- Aid means "to help or assist someone."
