Which of the following is opposite in meaning to the word ‘adversity’ occurring in the passage ?
Answer: B
The opposite of 'adversity' is prosperity.
In the passage a good book 'does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress'. Adversity means hardship or misfortune, and its opposite is good fortune, which is prosperity.
'Misfortune' is a synonym of adversity, not an opposite. 'Happiness' and 'progress' are loosely related to doing well but are not the direct opposite of hardship, so 'prosperity' is the best choice.
