frustrate
fail
abort
defeat
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: A. frustrate
An antonym is a word that means the opposite of another word. In this case, the word “culminate” means to reach a high point or climax. The opposite of this would be to fail to reach a high point or to be stopped from reaching a high point.
The word “frustrate” means to prevent someone from achieving their goal or to make someone feel annoyed or disappointed. This is the closest antonym to the word “culminate” because it describes
the opposite of reaching a high point.The other options are not as good antonyms
because they do not describe the opposite of reaching a high point. The word “fail” means to not succeed or to be unsuccessful. This does not necessarily mean that someone has not reached a high point, it just means that they have not succeeded in their goal. The word “abort” means to stop something before it has started or to end something prematurely. This does not necessarily mean that someone has not reached a high point, it just means that they have stopped before they have reached their goal. The word “defeat” means to win against someone or something. This does not necessarily mean that someone has not reached a high point, it just means that they have lost against someone or something.
