LIGHT : OPAQUE

• A. Air : Hermetic
• B. Document : Author
• C. Sand : Desert

Answer 1

The correct option is A Air : Hermetic

'Light : Opaque' Here, 'light' means brightness, whereas 'opaque' means a thing through which light can't enter. These two are antonyms.

Option B - 'Document : Author' - A document is made by an author, which has necessary information in it. An author is a person who writes. These words are not antonyms. Thus option B is incorrect.

Option C - 'Sand : Desert' - Sand is minute grains of rocks and sand is found in desert. These words are not antonyms. Thus option C is incorrect.

Option D - 'Wood : Tree' - Wood is a material used to make furniture and other related items, and wood is obtained from trees. These words aren't antonyms. Thus option D is incorrect.

Option A - 'Air : Hermetic' - 'Air' means wind, whereas 'hermetic' means a thing, place or a container that is so tightly closed that air can't leave or enter. These words are antonyms. Thus option A is the correct answer.

'Light : Opaque' - 'Air : Hermetic'
