Correct Answer: hatred


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation: In the context of the sentence, the word "penchant" suggests a positive and favourable inclination towards art and craft. Its antonym should convey a negative and unfavourable sentiment, making "hatred" the most suitable choice among the options provided.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Anxiety refers to a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease.
  • Fear refers to an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that something is dangerous.
  • Joy refers to a feeling of great pleasure and happiness.

Therefore, the correct answer is hatred.
