DIRECTIONS: In each of the following questions, four alternative meanings of a word the nearest correct ANTONYM of the given and fill the appropriate Bubble/Circle on the MCQ Response Form. EXAGGERATION
Correct answer: B. Obfuscation
- A. Hyperbole
- B. Obfuscation
- C. Belittlement
- D. Peregrination
Explanation
The correct answer is indeed C. Belittlement.Here's the explanation:- Exaggeration means to enlarge or magnify something beyond its true size, importance, or degree.- Belittlement means to make something seem smaller or less important, which is the opposite of exaggeration.They are antonyms, or words with opposite meanings. While Exaggeration implies making something seem bigger, Belittlement implies making something seem smaller.The other options don't match:A. Hyperbole is a synonym of Exaggeration, but not the correct answer because the question is looking for a word with a contrasting meaning.B. Obfuscation means to make something unclear or difficult to understand, which doesn't relate to the idea of size or importance.
