    Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.
    Putrefy

    Answer & explanation

    Answer: A) Combine

    Correct Answer: Combine
    Solution:
    The word putrefy means to rot or decay, especially with a foul smell, typically used for organic matter.
    The opposite (antonym) of this would be combine, which means to bring things together to form a whole, implying creation rather than decay.
    Other options are incorrect:
    • destroy – to ruin or break apart (not the opposite of decay)
    • contaminate – to make impure (similar in effect to decay)
    • decompose – to break down or rot (synonym of putrefy)
    Meanings:
    putrefy – to rot or decay with a foul smell – सड़ना
    combine – to join or mix together – मिलाना
    destroy – to ruin completely – नष्ट करना
    contaminate – to pollute or make dirty – प्रदूषित करना
