Question

Choose the word opposite in meaning to the given word: AGGRAVATE

• A. Affront
• B. Abbreviate
• C. Alleviate
• D. Irritate

Hint:

When searching for antonyms, consider the meaning of the word. "Aggravate" means to worsen a situation, and its opposite would be "alleviate," which means to improve or reduce severity.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

"Aggravate" means to make a situation worse or more severe. The opposite of this is "alleviate," which means to make a situation better or less severe. - "Affront" means an insult or offense, which is not the opposite of aggravate. - "Abbreviate" means to shorten, which is unrelated to the meaning of aggravate. - "Irritate" means to make someone annoyed or angry, which is similar in meaning to aggravate, not the opposite. Thus, the correct antonym of "aggravate" is "alleviate."
