In each of the following sentences, there is one word underlined and one gap. From the list of words lettered A - D, choose the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentences.
The workshop was intended to............the workers who had been confused by management's decisions
Answer Details
The word "confused" is underlined in the sentence, which means the missing word in the gap should be its opposite in meaning. The opposite of "confused" is "enlighten," which means to give knowledge or understanding, so the correct option is (B) "enlighten." Thus, the completed sentence would read: "The workshop was intended to enlighten the workers who had been confused by management's decisions."
