Correct Answer: Exaggerated


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .

Underestimated means to perceive or evaluate something as being less than it actually is. On the other hand, exaggerate means to perceive or represent something as being greater, larger, or more important than it actually is, making it the antonym in this context.

The meanings of other options are as follows:

  • Calculated : This word refers to something that is done deliberately, carefully planned, or based on careful consideration and estimation.
  • Charged : It refers to the act of asking for payment, assigning responsibility, or providing energy to something (such as charging a battery).
  • Misled : This is the past tense of the verb "mislead." It means to give the wrong idea or impression to someone, leading them to have an incorrect understanding or belief about a situation.
