Question

Choose the correct ANTONYM of the underlined word: The Minister unleashed a compliment against the newspaper for its biased editorial on illiteracy among women in his constituency.

• A. denunciation
• B. endorsement
• C. regulation
• D. speculation

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

"Denunciation" is the opposite of "compliment."

Answer 2

"Denunciation" is the opposite of "compliment."

Explanation:

"Denunciation" refers to the public condemnation or criticism of someone or something, often in a harsh or accusatory manner. It involves expressing disapproval or pointing out faults, making it the opposite of a "compliment," which is a positive or praising remark.

Example: A "denunciation" might involve calling out someone's wrongdoings, whereas a "compliment" would praise someone's good qualities or actions.

Thus, while "compliment" is an expression of admiration or approval, "denunciation" is an expression of criticism or disapproval.
