Question

Out of the given alternatives, choose the one which is nearest in meaning to the italicised word in the sentence.
The recent developments seem to be quite adverse to our interest.

• A. favourable
• B. indifferent
• C. unfortunate
• D. opposed

Answer 1

The correct option is D opposed

The highlighted word means 'in an opposing direction'.

Option D is correct. 'Opposed' has the same meaning as the required one and thus it is the correct answer.

Options A, B and C are incorrect. They do not have the required meaning.

'Favourable' means 'good', 'indifferent' means 'uninterested' and 'unfortunate' means 'unlucky'.
