Question

Choose the word that gives the antonym for the italicized word-
Anarchy emerges out of the wars of succession.
a) Disappears
b) Sinks
c) Falls
d) Drowns
e) Extinguishes

Answer 1

Hint: The antonym of the word emerges means to disappear. The word 'disappear' refers to moving out of or away from something and to become invisible.

Complete answer:
 Here 'emerges' is a verb which means to come out of something exclusively. For eg. The lion emerged from the shadows of the trees.
Now we will examine each all the given options one by one to find out the correct answer-
Option 'a' to disappear. It means to become invisible to someone’s naked eye. For eg. The man disappeared from the crowd so quickly that it was hard even to find out his shadow.
Option 'b' sinks. It means to go down or make something go down under the surface of some liquid or light and soft material. For eg. My mother sinked clothes in the water tub and started soaking it in the detergent.
Option 'c' falls. It means to drop down towards the ground. For eg. The baby fell down from the hand of the little brother and was hurt badly.
Option 'd' Drowns mean to die in water because it is not possible to breathe, and make someone die in this manner. For eg. The little boy drowned in the water while he was swimming.
 As we analyzed all the options, we can clearly figure out the correct answer. The antonym of the word “emerges” is “ disappear”.

Note:
All the other options are plausible distractions. Don't confuse between 'drown' and 'disappear'. Someone who drowns may disappear but someone who disappears cannot necessarily drown.
