Question

: Select the word opposite to-
Volunteer
a) Ordered
b) Alternative
c) Compulsory
d) Optional

Answer 1

Hint: The given word is 'volunteer' which means a person who offers or agrees to do something without being forced or paid to it or ordered to do it. For example, The children volunteered themselves to take part in the protocol.

Complete answer:
 Volunteer means to act selflessly and intentionally to a thing you are like to do. For eg. They volunteered in the camp during all the tough and rough times not seeing the pressure they were in and going.
We will look at each option carefully and try to find out the meaning of each option:
Option 'a' is ordered which means to use your position of authority to tell somebody to do something or to say that something must happen. For eg. the Teacher orders the students either to be quiet or move out of the class.
Option 'b' is an alternative which means that you can use, do, etc. instead of something else. For eg. The traffic was so big that we had to find an alternative route to home.
Option 'c' is compulsory which means that must be done, by law, rules, etc. For eg. It is compulsory to follow the rules and regulations of the government while following any procedure of any type.
Option 'd' optional means that you can choose or not choose. For eg. It was optional for us to choose between science and commerce in class 12th.
After analyzing each option carefully, we came to the point that option” a” is the right answer. So, the opposite of “volunteer” is “ordered”. Hence, the option 'a' is the correct option.

Note:
All the other options are plausible distractions. Don't confuse between 'compulsory' and 'ordered'. Something that is ordered is compulsory but something that is compulsory may not be ordered.
