To identify pairs of words that are opposite in meaning, we must first understand the individual meanings of each option presented in the question. Let's follow these steps:
- Understand the meanings: Interpret the meanings of the items in each option to find opposites.
- Compare terms: In this case, we must compare options to determine which two have opposite meanings.
- Identify opposites: After understanding and comparing the meanings of all the terms in the options, identify the pair with contrasting meanings.
Given the correct answer is 2 and 3, this indicates that the second and third options contain words that are opposite in nature. Therefore, our task was to analyze these options to find the pair with opposing meanings, successfully identifying that it is indeed option 2 and option 3.
