Question : Select the word from the options which is exactly opposite in meaning to the bracketed word given in the sentence below.
Hermione was pointing to the (nearest) window.
Option 1: adjacent
Option 2: convenient
Option 3: abutting
Option 4: remote
Correct Answer: remote
Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.
The term nearest implies proximity or closeness, indicating the window is nearby. On the other hand, remote suggests a significant distance or being far away.
The meanings of the other options are:
- Adjacent refers to objects or areas that are positioned next to or adjoining each other without any space in between.
- Convenient describes something that is easy to access, use, or reach, often implying practicality and efficiency.
- Abutting denotes direct contact or touching along a common boundary or edge.
Therefore, in the context of the sentence, remote serves as the antonym for nearest , as it conveys the idea of distance rather than proximity.
