Question

Choose the antonym of the word given below:
TRUST
A. Cheat
B. Doubt
C.Real
D. Faith

Answer 1

Hint:A word that means the opposite of another word is called antonyms. They have contrast meanings. A specific particular word can have multiple antonyms or opposite words. Opposite words or antonyms come in all the parts of speech such as noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, interjection, conjunction, and preposition.

Complete answer:
So, the meaning of the word Trust is believing someone.
Now, that we know what the word means, we must find a word whose meaning is the same.

Option A) Cheat -This is not the correct option because Cheat means to act dishonestly'. This is not opposite to the meaning of Trust.

Option B) Doubt -This is the correct option because doubt means 'uncertain about something or someone’. For example, they doubted if they would ever win.

Option C) Real -This is not the correct option because Real means genuine, actually existing as a thing or occurring in fact; not imagined or supposed. This is not opposite to the meaning of Trust.

Option D) Faith- This is not the correct option because Faith means belief, complete trust, or confidence in someone or something. This is not opposite to the meaning of Trust.

Hence, the correct answer is Option ‘B’.

Note: In questions like this you do not know the meanings of all given words, use the elimination method, and remove the words that you think are least likely to be correct. This will assist you to reach the final answer. Synonyms are words that are similar in meaning. Synonym of Trust is belief, faith.
