To solve this antonym matching task, we need to find the word with the opposite meaning for each word on the left.
Let’s go one by one:
1.
soft → Opposite is
rough
(Soft things are smooth and gentle; rough things are hard and uneven.)
2.
build → Opposite is
destroy
(Build means to make something; destroy means to break it down.)
3.
worst → Opposite is
best
(Worst = lowest quality; best = highest quality.)
4.
attack → Opposite is
defend
(Attack means to go against someone; defend means to protect from attack.)
5.
sunset → Opposite is
dawn
(Sunset is when the sun goes down at night; dawn is when the sun comes up in the morning.)
6.
male → Opposite is
female
(Male refers to boys/men; female refers to girls/women.)
Now let’s match them correctly:
- soft ↔ rough
- build ↔ destroy
- worst ↔ best
- attack ↔ defend
- sunset ↔ dawn
- male ↔ female
All pairs are now matched with their correct opposites.
Final Answer:
