Question

Choose the word that is most nearly the opposite in meaning of the word given in capital.
GLUT

• A. Dearth
• B. Limit
• C. Drain
• D. Supply

Answer 1

The correct option is A Dearth

'Glut' means an excessively abundant supply of something.

The correct antonym of the given word is option A, 'dearth' which means a scarcity or lack of something.

Options B, C and D are incorrect because 'limit' refers to a point or level beyond which something does not or may not extend or pass, 'drain' means empty out or deprive of strength or vitality and 'supply'means to give or provide.
