Question 1 Report

Choose the option opposite in meaning to the underlined word(s).

In our last play, Segun acted the hero?

Answer Details
The option opposite in meaning to the underlined word "hero" is "villain." In this context, "hero" means a character who is brave, admired and respected for their actions or deeds. Therefore, "villain" is the option opposite in meaning, as it refers to a character who is evil, wicked or cruel. The other options, such as "devil," "criminal," and "assassin," do not necessarily have an opposite meaning to "hero." For example, a devil can be seen as a villainous character, but it can also be interpreted as a powerful or mischievous supernatural being. Similarly, a criminal or an assassin may be seen as the antagonist in a story, but not necessarily as the opposite of a hero.
