Correct Answer: against
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
The antonym of for is against .
In this context, "for" suggests a supportive or favourable direction, while "against" implies a motion or force directed toward the shore, aligning with the description of waves lapping against the shore. The use of "against" conveys the idea of waves reaching the shore, creating a more coherent and logical sentence.
Therefore, the complete sentence is: The gentle lapping of waves against the shore was the only thing that could be heard.
