Discussion
Each of the following two items consists of a sentence followed by four words. Select the antonym of the word (occurring in the sentence in capital letters) as per the context.
The land is FERTILE
Answer: D
The antonym of FERTILE is Barren.
Fertile land is rich and able to produce good crops; barren land produces little or nothing, so barren is the exact opposite. The alluvial Gangetic plain and a bare, rocky hillside show the contrast.
Poor land is less productive, but the word is weaker and more general. Fruitless is used mainly of efforts that bring no result, and deserted means abandoned by people, which says nothing about the soil.
