Question

Which of the following prefix when added to "Available" makes it an antonym?

• A. An
• B. Un
• C. In
• D. Im

Hint:

The prefix "un-" is the most common way to form antonyms of adjectives in English.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1 (Meaning of "available").
"Available" means present, ready for use, or obtainable.
Step 2 (Forming antonyms with prefixes).
Adding the prefix "un-" to a word often creates its opposite meaning.
"Un" + "available" = "unavailable", meaning "not available".
Step 3 (Check other options).
"An-", "in-", and "im-" are valid negative prefixes in some words, but not with "available".
\[ {\text{Un (Option (b)}} \]
