Select the word that is OPPOSITE in meaning to the underlined word in the given sentence.
The project was denounced as a scandalous waste of taxpayer’s money.Answer & explanation
Answer: B) Defended
Answer: (b) Defended
Explanation:
The underlined word “denounced” means publicly condemned or criticised (निंदा करना).
We need to find the word opposite in meaning:
• Described – means to give an account of (वर्णन करना), not the opposite of denounce.
• Defended – means to protect or support against criticism (रक्षा करना), which is the direct opposite of denounced.
• Represented – means to stand for or symbolize (प्रतिनिधित्व करना), not opposite.
• Decried – means publicly condemned (निंदा की), which is a synonym, not opposite.
Hence, the correct antonym is defended.
