Question

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the word in brackets to fill in the blank. The widespread ______________________(destruction) of the natural world threatens the food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe.

• A. contribution
• B. creation
• C. choice
• D. condition

Answer 1

Answer:

B. creation

• The Given Word: Destruction means the act of causing so much damage to something that it no longer exists or cannot be repaired. The Antonym (Opposite): Creation means the act or process of bringing something into existence or making something new. Contextual Fit: While "destruction" of the natural world refers to its ruin, the "creation" (or preservation/building up) of the natural world is its logical opposite in terms of action.
