The word that is nearly opposite in meaning of 'defile' is ..................

  • A.Sanctify
  • B.Decry
  • C.Devaluate
  • D.Satiate

Answer: A

The nearly opposite word is sanctify.

To 'defile' is to make something impure, to spoil or desecrate it. To 'sanctify' is to make holy or pure, the opposite.

'Decry' means to criticise publicly and 'devaluate' to reduce in value, both closer to defile than opposite to it. 'Satiate' means to satisfy fully and is unrelated.
