Question

Antonym for capitulate:

• A. Summarize
• B. Disobey
• C. Resist
• D. Deride

Hint:

"Capitulate" means to surrender, so its opposite is to "resist".

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

"Capitulate" means to give up resistance and surrender or agree to someone's demands. Its opposite must show refusing to give in.

• Option A, "Summarize": This means to give a short account of something, an action about speech, not about surrender or defiance.
• Option B, "Disobey": This means to refuse to follow an order, which is related but not a precise opposite of surrendering in a struggle or fight.
• Option C, "Resist": This means to stand firm and oppose, the direct opposite of giving up or surrendering, which is exactly what "capitulate" describes.
• Option D, "Deride": This means to mock or ridicule someone, which has no real connection to surrender or its opposite.

The correct choice is option C, "Resist".
