Question 1 Report

Choose the most appropriate option opposite in meaning to the underlined words.

The greenhouse effect is beginning to abate in Europe?

Answer Details
The opposite of "abate" in this context would be "intensify" which means to become stronger or more intense. When we say the greenhouse effect is beginning to abate, it means that it is starting to lessen or decrease in strength. Therefore, the opposite would be that it is becoming stronger or increasing, making "intensify" the correct answer.
