Discussion
Identify the most suitable ANTONYM of the given word.
Chronic
Answer: A
The antonym of 'chronic' is 'occasional'. A chronic condition is one that lasts for a long time or keeps coming back. Occasional means happening only now and then, so it is the opposite. 'Persistent' is a synonym of chronic and 'severe' means serious, which is a different quality, and 'compulsive' describes a habit that cannot be resisted. So the first option is right. Chronic, from the Greek for time, means lasting a long time, as in chronic disease, so its opposite is something that happens now and then, occasional. Persistent is a near synonym, severe refers to the degree, and compulsive to a habit.
