Question

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word. Confess

• A. Witness
• B. Disavow
• C. Scare
• D. Preface

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Disavow

Confess means to admit that one has committed a crime or done something wrong; to acknowledge something. Disavow means to deny any responsibility or support for something; to disclaim or reject. Since it is the opposite of admitting/acknowledging, it is the most appropriate antonym. Why the others are wrong: * Witness (to see an event) is unrelated. Scare (to frighten) is unrelated. Preface (an introduction to a book or speech) is unrelated.
