The antonym question
consists of a single word in capital letters followed by five answer
choices. You are required to choose the word which is most nearly opposite that of the
capitalized word. This section tests your vocabulary in terms of your ability to understand the
meanings of words and to distinguish between fine shades of meaning.
Suggested Answering
Approach:
1. Read the word
and look for the most nearly opposite.
2. If the word
is unfamiliar, try to use it in a sentence, or break the word up using knowledge of
roots, prefixes, suffixes, and check for positive or negative connotation associated with the
word.
3. If the word
has a positive connotation, its antonym is negative, and vice-versa.
4. To be an opposite,
the word should not be too broad or too limited.
