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.
Answer all the question:
The school authorities expected the contributions to be ..............rather than compulsory
Answer Details
The word "compulsory" implies that something is required or mandatory, so the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning would be "voluntary," which means something that is done willingly or without pressure. Therefore, the answer is option B - voluntary. The sentence would then read: "The school authorities expected the contributions to be voluntary rather than compulsory."
