Question 1 Report

Answer the following question below and choose the option opposite in meaning to the underlined word or phrase in.

Oche entered the principal's office in a rather abrasive manner.

Answer Details
The option opposite in meaning to the underlined word "abrasive" is "gentle". The word "abrasive" means rough or harsh in manner, speech or behavior. Therefore, in the given sentence, Oche entered the principal's office in a rough or harsh manner. The opposite of "abrasive" would be "gentle", which means having a mild or kindly nature or character. If Oche had entered the principal's office in a "gentle" manner, it would imply that he was polite, calm, and respectful in his approach. The other options, "rude," "lackadaisical," and "indifferent," all imply negative attitudes or behaviors, which are not the opposite of "abrasive".
