Correct Answer: Weakened


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

In the context of the sentence, the word that is opposite in meaning to consolidated would be weakened .

While "consolidated" means to strengthen or make more secure, "weakened" signifies making something less strong or effective.

The meanings of the other words are as follows:

  • Devised: This means to invent, create, or come up with a plan, method, or idea.

  • Strengthened: This word means to make something stronger or more robust.

  • Formulated: It refers to creating or developing a plan, idea, or strategy.

So, the most appropriate antonym of consolidated would be weakened .
