Question 1 Report

Choose the option opposite in meaning to the underlined word(s).The injured man is determined to get back at his assailant
Answer Details
The opposite in meaning to the underlined phrase "get back at" is "forgive" (option D). The sentence suggests that the injured man wants to take revenge on his assailant, which implies a desire to retaliate or seek retribution. Therefore, the opposite of "get back at" would be a word or phrase that means to let go of any desire for revenge or punishment. The word "forgive" fits this description as it means to stop feeling angry or resentful towards someone who has done wrong, and to let go of any desire for revenge or punishment. The other options - "attack", "identify", and "visit" - do not have opposite meanings to the phrase "get back at" in the given context of the sentence.
