Choose the word that means the same as “Disrespect”.
Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Irreverence
Meaning: disrespect = lack of respect or courtesy *(अनादर, अपमान)*.
irreverence = lack of respect, especially for things usually taken seriously *(अश्रद्धा, अनादर)*.
Both are nouns built the same way: *dis-* + respect, *ir-* + reverence.
Why the others are wrong.
#B Cruelty = deliberately causing pain *(क्रूरता)* — harshness, not lack of respect.
#B Friendly = kind and pleasant, an adjective *(मैत्रीपूर्ण)* — near the opposite in spirit, and the wrong part of speech.
#B Appreciate = to value, recognise the worth of *(सराहना करना)* — a verb, and closer to an antonym.
Answer: Irreverence
*Reverence = deep respect, so irreverence = disrespect.*
