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 pilot says that it is easier to take off from the airport than to............on the tarmac
Answer Details
The opposite of "take off" is "land". In the context of the sentence, the pilot is comparing the difficulty level of taking off from an airport and landing on a tarmac, implying that landing is more difficult. Therefore, the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "take off" and correctly fills the gap in the sentence is "land" (option A).
