OpposeAnswer & explanation
Answer: A) Encourage
Correct Answer: Encourage
Explanation:
The word "oppose" means to resist, go against, or be in conflict with something (विरोध करना). Its antonym should convey the idea of supporting or promoting something.
• Encourage means to support, inspire, or promote something (प्रोत्साहित करना) — this is the direct opposite of oppose.
• Resist means to withstand or fight against (प्रतिरोध करना) — this is actually a synonym, not an antonym.
• Embody means to represent or express something (प्रतिरूप बनाना), which is unrelated.
• Elective means optional or chosen by election (ऐच्छिक), also unrelated.
So, the correct antonym of "oppose" is "encourage."
