Question 1 Report

Choose the word that is opposite in meaning to the underlined word.

The warring communities were coerced into negotiating a settlement.

Answer Details
The opposite of "coerced" would be a word that means "not forced". The option that best represents this is "persuaded". If someone is persuaded to do something, it means they were convinced or talked into doing it willingly, rather than being forced to do it against their will.
