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.
He took VOLUNTARY retirement on account of his illness
Answer: B
The antonym of VOLUNTARY is Compulsory.
Voluntary retirement is retirement chosen by the employee; compulsory retirement is imposed, whether the employee wishes it or not. Choice against obligation is exactly the contrast between the two words.
Premature retirement is early retirement, which voluntary retirement often is, so it is close in sense rather than opposite. Urgent and undesirable do not contrast with choosing freely.
