Question

Which one of the following is nearest to the opposite in meaning to the word given in capitals?
INTERFERE

• A. counter
• B. assist
• C. hate
• D. fight

Hint:

When looking for antonyms, think about the intent behind the word — "interfere" disrupts, so its opposite would be something that aids or supports, like "assist."

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

“Interfere” means to intervene in a situation without invitation, usually in a disruptive or unwanted manner.
Option A: "counter" — Not directly opposite; it means to oppose or respond to.
Option B: "assist" — This is the opposite, implying help or support rather than obstruct.
Option C: "hate" — Unrelated in meaning.
Option D: "fight" — Could be related to interference but not an antonym.
Therefore, assist is the correct opposite of interfere.
