Select the Antonym (most opposite meaning) of the word in capital letters.

His ENTHUSIASM for social work is truly appreciable.

  • A.fervour
  • B.indifference
  • C.hostility
  • D.amity

Answer: B

The antonym of ENTHUSIASM is indifference.

Enthusiasm is eager interest and excitement about something. Its opposite is indifference, a complete lack of interest or concern.

Fervour is a synonym, intense feeling. Hostility is active ill will, which is not the absence of interest but a different strong feeling. Amity means friendship, also unrelated to the opposite of eagerness.

A quick test for an antonym pair is to swap the word into the sentence: 'His indifference to social work' says the reverse of 'his enthusiasm for social work'.
