Which one of the following words is most opposite in meaning to the word, 'retrieve' ?
Answer: B
The opposite of 'retrieve' is abandon.
To retrieve is to get something back or bring it back, as when young birds retrieve food from a parent. To abandon is to give something up or leave it behind for good, the opposite action.
Recover is close in meaning to retrieve, a synonym rather than an antonym. Remedy means to put right or cure, and rectify means to correct an error; neither is the opposite of getting something back.
