Question

Choose the antonym of the word given below
 Knowledge
A. Awareness
B. Ignorance
C. Wisdom
D. Learning

Answer 1

Hint: Antonym is a word opposite in meaning to another. For example, bad and good. Knowledge means facts, information and skills required through experience of education or the theoretical and practical understanding of a subject or Awareness or familiarity gained by experience of a fact or situation.

Complete answer:
In this question, we have asked the antonym of the word knowledge. So first of all, what is knowledge? So, the first option is awareness. Awareness also means knowledge or perception of a situation or fact. So, awareness is synonym of knowledge not antonym. Our second option is ignorance, which means lack of knowledge or information, which is opposite of knowledge. So, ignorance is the antonym of knowledge. The third option in wisdom. Wisdom means the quality of having experience, knowledge and good judgement, the quality of being wise. So, as we can see wisdom is not opposite of knowledge, it is something similar to knowledge. So, this option is also wrong. Option D is learning. Learning is the acquisition of knowledge and skills to study experience or being taught. As we can see, learning is also not opposite to knowledge. So, learning is not antonym of knowledge. So, this option is also wrong.

Therefore, the correct option is B. ignorance

Note: You can find some other antonyms of knowledge also. Like, illiteracy, unawareness.
