Choose the antonym of ‘constructive’:
Answer & explanation
Answer: B) Destructive
Meaning: constructive = helpful, serving to build up or improve *(रचनात्मक, सकारात्मक)*.
The opposite is destructive = causing damage, tearing down *(विनाशकारी, विध्वंसक)*.
Construct and destruct share the Latin root *struere* (to build); the prefixes point in opposite directions.
Why the others are wrong.
• creative = able to make new things *(सृजनात्मक)* — a near-synonym.
• productive = yielding results *(उत्पादक)* — also on the building side.
• useful = of practical help *(उपयोगी)* — constructive advice is useful advice.
*Constructive criticism builds; destructive criticism only demolishes.*
