Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word: Accentuate
Answer & explanation
Answer: C) Obscure
Correct Answer: Option 3 — Obscure
'Accentuate' means to make something more noticeable or prominent; to emphasize. Its antonym should mean to make less noticeable. 'Obscure' means to keep from being seen or known; to make unclear — the direct antonym.
Why the others are wrong:
Option 1 — 'Emphasize' is a synonym of accentuate, not an antonym.
Option 2 — 'Highlight' is also a synonym of accentuate.
Option 4 — 'Promote' means to support or advance something; a near-synonym of accentuate.
