Which one of the following words is opposite in meaning to the word 'pleasure' ?

  • A.grief
  • B.damage
  • C.loss
  • D.anger

Answer: A

The opposite of 'pleasure' is grief.

Pleasure is a feeling of happiness and enjoyment. Grief is deep sorrow, the opposite feeling.

Damage and loss are harmful events or results, not feelings, so neither is the opposite of a feeling of happiness, although loss can cause grief. Anger is a feeling, but it is the opposite of calm or contentment rather than of pleasure; the direct antonym of joy and pleasure is sorrow or grief.
