Question 1 Report

Choose the most appropriate option opposite in meaning of the underlined word.

His textile business deals are in gross?

Answer Details
The correct answer is "retailed". In this sentence, "gross" means the total revenue of the business before expenses are deducted, so the opposite of this would be "net" which refers to the revenue after expenses have been deducted. However, in the given options, "retailed" is the closest opposite in meaning to "gross" as it refers to the sale of goods in small quantities directly to the consumer, whereas "gross" implies larger quantities or overall revenue.
