The most opposite in meaning of the word 'alarmingly' is

  • A.warning
  • B.safely
  • C.panick
  • D.None of these.

Answer: B

The word most opposite in meaning to 'alarmingly' is safely.

'Alarmingly' means in a way that causes fear or danger; its opposite is 'safely', in a way that carries no danger. In the passage the tigers take their prey 'with alarming regularity', so the contrast is a regularity that is not alarming.

'Warning' is a noun that overlaps with alarm in meaning rather than opposing it, and 'panick' (as printed) is a state of fright, so it points the same way as 'alarmingly'.
