An antonym for “lusty” is __________.
Answer(s): D
Although “lust” means “an extreme (often immoral) desire,” the word “lusty” is derived from an earlier sense of “lust” as “strength or vigor.” (You can see this even in the fact that “lust” is used to describe a strong desire or attraction). The word “lusty” thus means something like “strong, vigorous, or healthy.” In contrast to such lustiness, “sickly” is by far the best antonym among the options provided.
An antonym for “mean” is __________.
Answer(s): E
Do not be tricked by the many synonyms found among the answers – nasty, unkind, signify, and moderate. The word “mean” has a number of meanings, from “to signify” to “nasty” to “average” (as in an arithmetical mean). The word can also mean “not giving or generous.” Thus, the best antonym is “generous.” All of the others are good synonyms for various senses of the word. However, that does little good when you are looking for an antonym.
An antonym for “meager” is __________.
The word meager is derived from root words meaning “thin” in the sense of not being physically fat. When supplies, food, or other things are described as being “meager,” they are lacking in quantity. Among the options provided, the only antonym to such lack is “plentiful.”
An antonym for “nefarious” is __________.
Answer(s): B
When something is nefarious, it is gravely wicked or criminal. Generally, the word is used to describe some action. For instance, one could say, “The group of young mobsters committed a number of nefarious murders that were reported throughout the nation due to the cruel manner by which they killed their victims.” In contrast to such wicked actions, “righteous” actions are “right” in the strong, moral sense.
An antonym for “objection” is __________.
When someone “registers an objection,” that person expresses opposition to some point of view, fact, etc. To say, “I object ...” is akin to saying, “I disagree ...” In contrast to objection, “concurrence” is the state of being in agreement. It literally means “to run with,” as though to say, “to be going in the same direction.” The current of a stream is the “running” of the water in the stream. To say, “I concur,” is basically the same as saying, “I agree with you.” “Concurrence” is thus an excellent antonym for “objection.”
“Antagonize” means the opposite of __________.
Answer(s): C
"Aggravate," "infuriate," and "anger" are all synonyms of antagonize. "Antagonize" means to provoke hostility. "Pacify" means to soothe.
An antonym for “dutiful” is __________.
Someone who is “dutiful” is someone who attends to the requirements of his or her station of life. That is, he or she follows through on his or her duties. Perhaps you have heard the expression, “dutiful son,” used by someone who claims to do everything that should be done by a child for his or her parents. The opposite of someone who is “dutiful” is someone who is “negligent.” The word “negligent” is related to the word “neglect” and could even be thought of as “neglectful,” though it is better defined as not taking proper care of given matters. This is an excellent antonym for “dutiful.”
An antonym for "emancipation" is __________.
"Emancipation" is the act of freeing someone who is restricted or enslaved. For instance, one can speak of being emancipated from the overbearing rules of a government or family. Often, the word is used in its more literal meaning, namely that of freeing from slavery, as in the Emancipation Proclamation of Abraham Lincoln. The opposite of such an act of freeing is “incarcerating.” The word “incarcerate” literally means “into jail,” the “-carcerate” portion coming from the Latin for jail. Incarceration is the state of being placed into such a state / circumstance.
