shattered
enlarged
spread
diffused
Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is: B. enlarged
An antonym is a word that means the opposite of another word. In this case, the word “compact” means “small and dense.” The opposite of “small” is “large,” and the opposite of “dense”
is “spread out.” Therefore, the word that means the opposite of “compact” is “enlarged.”The other options are not antonyms of “compact.”
- “Shattered” means “broken into pieces.” This is not the opposite of “compact,” because a compact object can still be shattered.
- “Spread” means “to move or extend over an area.” This is not the opposite of “compact,” because a compact object can still be spread out.
- “Diffused” means “to spread out or become less concentrated.” This is not the opposite of “compact,” because a compact object can still be diffused.
