Question

Choose the antonym of the word given below:
Fixed

• A. Established
• B. Confirmed
• C. Undecided
• D. Immobile

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Undecided

An antonym is a word that is opposite in meaning to another.
The given word 'fixed' means something that is decided and cannot be changed, for example, 'The exams have been fixed for next week.'
From the options, 'undecided' means 'not having made a decision'; it is opposite in meaning to the given word. Consider the sentence: The exam dates are undecided.
Hence option C is correct.
'Established' means 'having existed for a long time', like an established business, an established company. It is not an antonym of 'fixed', hence A is incorrect.
'Confirmed' means 'firmly established in a habit, belief or way of life'; it does not mean the opposite of the given word, hence option B is incorrect.
'Immobile' refers to something that cannot be moved, something that is fixed. It is synonymous with the word, and not its antonym. (A synonym is a word that is similar in meaning to another.) Hence option D is incorrect.
