Question

Choose the antonym of the word:
FEIGN
a) Condone
b) Attend
c) Willing
d) Original

Answer 1

Hint: Antonym words are words that are opposite in meaning to one other. The word ‘Feign’ means to fake something or pretend/act something that is not real in nature or existence.
Example: He feigned his being ill, to postpone the meeting with the clients.

Complete answer:
Option a – Condone
Condone means to disapprove of anything and point out that it is wrong or unjust or irrelevant.
Example: USA condoned the actions of China in the East China Sea.
Option b – Attend
Attend means to witness an act or happening. To be a part of activity or witness it while happening willing.
Example: We were invited to attend the marriage ceremony of my cousin.
Option c – Willing
Any activity that is done on one’s own terms and under the guidance of own conscious and not forced by any external factor or person to act in that way.
Example: He was willing to sell his share of land.
Option d – Original
Anything that is genuine and true in its nature of occurrence or without having any part being forged from any other previously made material.

The correct option is ‘d – Original’, the opposite of the word ‘FEIGN’.

Note: The word feign means to fake or commit fraud in any form of action, hence original is the most suitable antonym for this word.
