Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word. Flaunt

AParade

BHide

CWide

DOpen

Answer:

B. Hide

Read Explanation:

An Antonym is a word that means the opposite of the given word. Flaunt: This means to display something (like wealth, a skill, or a new dress) ostentatiously or proudly, especially in order to provoke envy or admiration in others. It is like saying, "Look at me and what I have!" Hide (Correct): This is the direct opposite. It means to keep something out of sight or to conceal it so that others cannot see it. Parade: This is actually a synonym for flaunt. To parade something is to show it off publicly. Wide: This describes a physical measurement of distance from side to side (as we saw in your previous question about "Broad"). It has no relationship to showing off or concealing. Open: While "open" can mean not hidden, it doesn't function as the direct opposite of the specific action of flaunting (showing off).
