Choose the most appropriate antonym of the underlined word.
The dictator was obsessed with the aggrandizement of his own power and wealth.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (C) Abasement
•
Aggrandizement — शक्ति या प्रतिष्ठा बढ़ाना (increase of power or status). इसका विपरीत अपमान या पदावनति है।
•
Exaltation — उन्नयन, महिमामंडन
•
Ennoblement — उदात्त बनाना
•
Abasement — अवनति, अपमान
•
Glorification — महिमा-गान
बाकी तीनों ऊँचा उठाने का भाव देते हैं, इसलिए Antonym Abasement है।
Aggrandizement means increasing power or status. Its opposite is humiliation or lowering of rank.
•
Exaltation — raising in rank or honour
•
Ennoblement — making noble
•
Abasement — humiliation, degradation
•
Glorification — praising highly
The other three denote raising up, so the antonym is Abasement.
