Question

Choose the word that is opposite in meaning to the given word.
TENTATIVE
a)Immediate
b)Urgent
c)Developed
d)Final

Answer 1

Hint: When two things are completely different or contrary to each other they are opposite of each other. Therefore, here you need to find the word that contrasts in meaning with tentative.

Complete step-by-step answer:

When we say that something is tentative we mean that it is not certain or fixed, i.e. it is provisional and not final. For e.g. – The tentative date for the exams is out.
By the explanation above, the option – d stands correct. Because something tentative is not final, which implies that the opposite of final is tentative, for e.g. – the final dates are out.
Let us also look at the other options that are given –
a)Immediate – something that is instant or something that is done at once is known as immediate. For e.g. – The officer did not take immediate action.
b)Urgent – something that requires immediate action or attention or something that has to be done at the earliest. For e.g. – She needs to be hospitalized. It is urgent.
c)Developed – something that is advanced or elaborated to a specific degree. For e.g. – The sector has developed.

Note: If you get stuck with two options that may seem as correct try to connect them with the meaning of the original (or given) word and then find the one that most suits the requirements of the given question.
