Question

Select the opposite of the given word: Corrupt
a)Brave
b)High
c)Moral
d)Upgrade

Answer 1

Hint: Corrupt means dishonest or amoral, now one needs to know the meanings of the words given in the options. We have to find the word that is opposite in meaning, i.e. honest or righteous.

Complete step-by-step answer:
In the given question, the word “corrupt” means dishonourable or dishonest. The correct answer must be a word that is opposite in meaning to the given word. Now one must check which one of the options means the opposite of the word “corrupt”.

 Option a, “brave” means courageous, valiant or fearless, which is irrelevant, hence it is an incorrect option.

 Option b, “high”, again, means giant or elevated, it is irrelevant to the given word as well, hence is also incorrect.

 Option c, “moral” means righteous or virtuous, which is opposite in meaning as the given word, hence is an antonym, it is the correct option.

Option d, “upgrade”, means enhance or improve, which is irrelevant to the given word. Hence option d is an incorrect option.

Note: the tricky part of this question is to be able to differentiate between the words, since they all have positive meanings.
