Choose the option opposite in meaning to the underlined word(s).Amina's performance in the examination surpassed my expectations?
Answer Details
The option that is opposite in meaning to "surpassed my expectations" is "was disappointing".
In the sentence, "surpassed my expectations" means that Amina's performance was better than what was anticipated, and exceeded what the speaker thought was possible. The opposite of this would be if Amina's performance was "disappointing", which would mean that she did not meet the expectations or perform as well as expected.
For example, if Amina had been consistently performing well in the class, but did poorly in the exam, her performance would be considered disappointing. Conversely, if Amina had been struggling in the class, but did exceptionally well in the exam, her performance would be considered to have "surpassed expectations".
