Do you know the old adage 'the show must go on’?Answer & explanation
Answer: D) Misconstruction
Answer: Misconstruction
Solution:
• The underlined word "adage" means a wise old saying or proverb – पुरानी कहावत या सूक्ति.
• The antonym should mean something incorrectly stated or misunderstood, not a widely accepted truth.
• "Misconstruction" means a misinterpretation or incorrect understanding – ग़लत व्याख्या, which is the most appropriate opposite of "adage".
• Other options:
• Rebuke means scolding or criticism – डांटना
• Addiction means dependency on a substance or activity – लत
• Dare means a challenge or bold action – चुनौती
• None of these relate to the meaning of "adage", except misconstruction.
