Invincible
a) Invulnerable
b) Visible
c) Wanton
d) Ancient
e) Conquerable

Answer 1

Hint: Antonyms are those words that have contrasting or opposite meanings to the given word or phrase.

Complete step-by-step answer:
In the given question, the word ‘invincible’ refers to being incapable of being overcome or subdued; someone or something that cannot be defeated, destroyed or killed.
Let us analyze the options given to us in this question:
Option (a.), 'invulnerable', refers to immune to attack; impregnable.
Therefore, option (a.) is incorrect as its meaning is not antonymous but synonymous to that of the given word ‘invincible’.

Option (b.), ‘visible', refers to someone or something capable of being seen; or open to easy view.
Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect as its meaning is not antonymous to that of the given word ‘invincible’.

Option (c.), ‘wanton', refers to behaving extremely cruelly and brutally.
Therefore, option (c.) is incorrect as its meaning is not antonymous to that of the given word ‘invincible’.

Option (d.), ‘ancient', refers to someone or something belonging to a time long past.
Therefore, option (d.) is incorrect as its meaning is not antonymous to that of the given word ‘invincible’.

Option (e.), ‘conquerable', refers to someone or something capable of being surmounted or excelled.
Therefore, option (e.) is correct as it is antonymous to the given word ‘invincible’.

Note: Sometimes the given options in a question where we have to find the opposite of the given word do not exactly mean the opposite of the given word. If this happens, we have to select the option which is the most anonymous to the meaning of the word in the question.
