Correct Answer: emit

Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

Absorb means to take in or soak up, whereas emit means to throw or give off. Both of these words imply opposite meanings and, hence, are antonyms.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

• Swallow means to pass through the mouth to the stomach.
• Imbibe means to absorb.
• Consume means to use up a resource.
