Select the Antonym of the word occurring in the sentence in capital letters as per the context from the given words or group of words.

He has an AVERSION to milk.

  • A.dear
  • B.loving
  • C.liking
  • D.pet

Answer: C

The antonym of AVERSION is liking.

An aversion is a strong dislike, so an aversion to milk means he dislikes it. The opposite is a liking for it.

Dear and loving are adjectives, and pet names a favourite animal or thing, so none of them can replace the noun 'aversion' in the sentence as its opposite.

Note that 'aversion' takes 'to' (an aversion to milk), while its opposite 'liking' takes 'for' (a liking for milk).
