Question

Pick up the most appropriate Antonym for the given word
Relinquish

• A. Possess
• B. abdicate
• C. renounce
• D. deny

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: “Relinquish” means to give up or surrender something. 

Step 2: The opposite of “relinquish” is “possess,” which means to own or retain something.

Step 3: “Abdicate” and “renounce” are related to giving up power or position, which can be a type of relinquishing, but they are not the direct opposite. “Deny” does not fit in this context.

Thus, the correct answer is: “possess.”
