OBEDIENCEAnswer & explanation
Answer: A) rebellion
Meaning: obedience = doing what one is ordered or expected to do *(आज्ञाकारिता, आज्ञापालन)*.
The antonym must mean *refusing to obey*: rebellion = open resistance to authority *(विद्रोह, बग़ावत)*.
Example: *The soldiers' rebellion ended a century of obedience.*
Why the others are wrong.
• compliance = going along with rules or requests *(अनुपालन)* — a synonym of obedience, not its opposite.
• discipline = orderly, controlled behaviour *(अनुशासन)* — the habit that *produces* obedience.
• submission = yielding to another's will *(समर्पण, अधीनता)* — again obedience, in a humbler form.
*Three options obey and one rebels — in an antonym question, the odd one out is the answer.*
Examples
- “The soldiers showed strict obedience to their commander.”
