Question

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word. Entice

• A. Allure
• B. Repulse
• C. Invite
• D. Tangle

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Repulse

• Why "Repulse" is the correct antonym: Understanding "Entice": To entice someone means to attract them by offering something pleasant or advantageous. It is like using a "pull" force to bring someone closer. Example: "The smell of fresh bread enticed the customers into the bakery." Defining the Antonym: Since "entice" is an attractive force, the opposite must be a "push" force. Repulse means to drive back or cause intense dislike/disgust. The Logic of Opposites: * Entice = Come here (Attractive). Repulse = Go away (Repellent).
