Question

Fill in the blank with the opposite word.
Young - _____
A) Old
B) Big
C) Small
D) Quick

Answer 1

Hint:Opposite word is a word that expresses a meaning that is completely different from the meaning of another word. For example: beautiful: ugly, narrow: wide and etc.

Complete Answer: Let us look into the given options.
>Option A) Old is the correct answer because young refers to the youth of a person where old is referred to as older, senior, elderly. Thus, the opposite of young is always old. Young: Old
>Option B) Big is an incorrect answer because big refers to as large, sizeable which does not connect with the opposite of young. Hence, this is an incorrect option.
>Option C) Small is an incorrect option because small refers to little, Thus, small cannot be the opposite of young, but it can be opposite of big. Hence, option C is incorrect.
>Option D) Quick is an incorrect option because quick means fast, speedy and young has nothing to do with quick (as opposite). Hence, this is an incorrect option.

Hence option ‘A’ is the correct answer.

Note: First we should understand what opposite means. And also should understand the meaning of the word. As in this question Young means youth. However, big, small, quick does not go with the opposite of young. Old is the most suitable answer because old is less youth or elder.Young: Old
