Question

Fill in the blanks with the correct antonyms: The weather was extremely __ (hot), but after the storm, it turned __.

• A. Cold
• B. Warm
• C. Mild
• D. Hot

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Cold

The sentence contrasts two opposite weather conditions. The word "hot" is already given, so we need its antonym.

• a) Cold – Opposite of hot, making the sentence meaningful, so correct ✅.

• b) Warm – Similar to hot, not an antonym, so incorrect.

• c) Mild – Means moderate, not a direct opposite of hot, so incorrect.

• d) Hot – Same as the given word, so incorrect.

Thus, the correct sentence is:
"The weather was extremely hot, but after the storm, it turned cold." ✅
