Question 1 Report

Choose the option opposite in meaning to the underlined word or phrase. Some of my neighbours have an antipathy to dogs.
Answer Details
The word opposite in meaning to "antipathy" is "affection for." "Antipathy" means a strong dislike or hatred towards something, while "affection" means a fondness or liking for something. So, in the sentence "Some of my neighbors have an antipathy to dogs," it means that some of them have a strong dislike or hatred towards dogs. If the word "antipathy" were replaced with "affection for," the sentence would mean "Some of my neighbors have a fondness or liking for dogs."
