Choose the word that is opposite in meaning to the given word "Degenerate".
Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Flourish
The correct answer is: Flourish
'Degenerate' means to decline in quality, value, or condition; to deteriorate. Its antonym is 'Flourish' — to grow vigorously, to thrive, to prosper.
Why other options are wrong:
Option 2 — Perish: Means to die or be destroyed; does not mean the opposite of degenerate.
Option 3 — Dismiss: Means to send away or disregard; unrelated.
Option 4 — Decay: Means to rot or deteriorate — this is a synonym of degenerate, not an antonym.
Correct answer: Option 1 — Flourish
