Discussion
Identify the word from the passage which is nearly opposite in meaning to 'comfort/happiness'.
Answer: B
The word is Distress.
Comfort and happiness mean ease and well-being. Distress is suffering, anxiety or pain, the direct opposite, and the passage uses it for people in trouble who need a helping hand.
Hindrance means an obstacle, which is a cause of difficulty, not a feeling opposite to comfort. Genteel means polite and refined. Weary means tired and describes the traveller; it is the nearest rival, but it names a state of tiredness and not the opposite of happiness.
