Question 1 Report

Choose from the options opposite in meaning to the word underlined.The project is designed to alleviate poverty in the country?
Answer Details
The word "alleviate" means to make something less severe or intense. The option that is opposite in meaning to "alleviate" is "exacerbate," which means to make something worse or more severe. The other options, "tackle," "eradicate," and "assuage," do not have the opposite meaning of "alleviate." - "Tackle" means to deal with a problem or situation in a determined or effective way. - "Eradicate" means to completely remove or destroy something. - "Assuage" means to make something unpleasant less intense or severe, but not necessarily to completely remove it or make it disappear. Therefore, the correct option is "exacerbate."
