Select the word which is closest to the opposite in meaning of the underlined word.
He has penchant for writing satirical poems.
Answer: A
The word closest to the opposite of penchant is dislike.
A penchant is a strong liking or inclination for something: a penchant for writing satirical poems. Its plain opposite is a dislike.
Bias is a leaning, close in meaning to penchant rather than opposite. Repulsion and hatred are far stronger feelings than the mild opposite of a liking, so 'dislike' is the closest match.
