Choose the word which is most opposite in meaning of the word 'conceded' as used in the passage.

  • A.Criticized
  • B.Rejected
  • C.Denounced
  • D.Withdrawn

Answer: B

The word most opposite to 'conceded' is rejected.

The passage says the principle of linguistic States was conceded only in response to strong pressure from below. To concede means to accept or grant something, often reluctantly, after resisting it. Its opposite is to refuse to accept it, that is, to reject.

Criticized and denounced mean speaking against something, which can happen even after accepting it. Withdrawn means taken back, which is not the opposite of granting.
