Question 1 Report

From the list of words lettered A to D, choose the one that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentence.

 

All the wealth amassed by a greedy father is often_________by undisciplined children.

Answer Details
The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "amassed" and will correctly fill the gap in the sentence is "scattered". "Amassed" means to gather or collect, while "scattered" means to distribute widely or separate into pieces. So, the sentence would read: "All the wealth amassed by a greedy father is often scattered by undisciplined children."
