Choose the word which is opposite in meaning to the word 'seeks' as used in the passage.

  • A.Deplores
  • B.Avoids
  • C.Vanishes
  • D.Approaches

Answer: B

The opposite of 'seeks' is avoids.

To seek is to try to find or obtain something; in the passage, man 'seeks to satisfy his needs'. To avoid is to keep away from or try not to obtain something, the direct opposite.

Deplores means strongly disapproves, vanishes means disappears, and approaches means comes near, which is closer to seeking than its opposite.
