Select the Antonym (most opposite meaning) of the word in capital letters.
His ENTHUSIASM for social work is truly appreciable.
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'.
