Correct Answer: stopped


Solution : The right option is the third option .

Among the given words, stopped is the most suitable antonym for continued in the given sentence, as it directly opposes the idea of something persisting without interruption by indicating an end or cessation.

The meanings of the other words are:

  • Disregarded means to ignore or pay no attention to something.
  • Ongoing refers to something that is currently happening or in progress.
  • Played refers to the action of participating in a game or sport.
So, the most appropriate antonym would be stopped .
