Let’s go step by step to find the opposite (antonym) of each word, using the given choices:

Choices:
A. grand
B. cross
C. dust
D. does
E. blink
F. pain
G. flash
H. slot

---

1. tiny → Opposite is something big or large.
Look at choices: “grand” means large or impressive → matches.
✔ 1 = A. grand

2. part → Opposite could be whole? But not in list. Wait — maybe “slot”? No. Think differently.
Actually, “part” as in a piece — opposite might be “whole”, but not here.
Let’s look again. Maybe “cross”? No.
Wait — perhaps “slot” doesn’t fit. Let’s skip and come back.

Alternative idea: “part” vs “whole” — not available.
What about “dust”? No.
Hmm… maybe we’re missing something.

Let’s try matching others first.

3. doesn't → This is short for “does not”. Opposite is “does”.
Choice D is “does” → perfect match.
✔ 3 = D. does

4. closure → Means closing or ending. Opposite is opening or beginning.
Not obvious in list. “Flash”? “Blink”?
Wait — “closure” can also mean emotional closure — opposite might be openness? Still not clear.

Let’s hold off.

5. cleanliness → Opposite is dirtiness or mess.
“Dust” is related to dirt → C. dust makes sense.
✔ 5 = C. dust

6. stare → To look fixedly. Opposite is to glance quickly or blink.
“Blink” is E → that fits! Blinking is quick eye movement, opposite of staring.
✔ 6 = E. blink

7. dullness → Boring or not sharp. Opposite is brightness or excitement.
“Flash” can mean sudden bright light → G. flash works.
Also, “flash” can mean exciting moment → yes.
✔ 7 = G. flash

8. comfort → Feeling good, relaxed. Opposite is discomfort or pain.
“Pain” is F → perfect.
✔ 8 = F. pain

Now go back to #2 and #4.

We have used: A, D, C, E, G, F → left are B (cross), H (slot)

#2: part → What’s left? “Cross” or “slot”

“Part” as in divide? Opposite could be “join” — not there.
Wait — “slot” is a narrow space — not opposite of part.
“Cross” — like angry? Or to go across?

Actually, think of “part” as in “to separate” — opposite is “to join” — still no.

Alternative: In some contexts, “part” vs “whole” — not here.

Wait — maybe “slot” is not right. Let’s think of “part” as in “a portion” — opposite is “entirety” — not here.

Hold on — what if “part” is being used as verb? Like “to part ways” — opposite is “to meet” — not here.

Maybe we made a mistake earlier?

Let’s recheck #4: closure

Opposite of closure (closing) is opening. Is “flash” an opening? No. “Blink”? No.

Wait — “flash” was used for dullness. That seems okay.

What about “cross”? Could “cross” be opposite of “part”? Not really.

Another idea: “part” — as in hair part? Opposite? No.

Wait — let’s look at remaining words: B. cross, H. slot

For #2: “part” — maybe “slot” is not it. What if “cross” is the answer? Doesn’t make sense.

Perhaps I missed something.

Let’s list all answers so far:

1. tiny → grand (A) ✔️
3. doesn't → does (D) ✔️
5. cleanliness → dust (C) ✔️
6. stare → blink (E) ✔️
7. dullness → flash (G) ✔️
8. comfort → pain (F) ✔️

Left: 2 and 4 → with choices B (cross) and H (slot)

Try #4: closure

If closure = closing, then opposite = opening. Is “slot” an opening? Yes! A slot is an opening or gap. So closure (closing) ↔ slot (opening)? That could work.

Then #2: part → remaining choice is B. cross

Is “cross” opposite of “part”? Not obviously.

Wait — “part” can mean to divide or separate. “Cross” can mean to go across or intersect — which brings things together? Maybe.

But that’s weak.

Alternative: Maybe “part” and “cross” aren’t direct opposites.

Wait — perhaps “part” as in “part your hair” — opposite is “smooth”? Not here.

Another thought: In theater or film, “part” can mean role — opposite? No.

Let’s consider: maybe “slot” is better for “part”? No.

Wait — what if #2 is “slot”? Part vs slot? No.

Perhaps I have a mismatch.

Let’s try assigning:

#2: part → ?
#4: closure → ?

If closure → slot (as opening), then part → cross?

Still not great.

Wait — another idea: “part” can mean “to leave” — opposite is “to stay” — not here.

Perhaps “cross” is for “comfort”? No, comfort is pain.

Wait — let’s check online or standard antonyms.

Standard antonyms:

- tiny ↔ huge/grand → A ✔️
- part ↔ whole — not here, but maybe “cross” isn’t it.
Wait — “part” as noun: opposite is “whole” — not listed.
As verb: “part” = separate, opposite = unite/join — not here.

But look: “slot” — a slot is a place where something fits — opposite of part? No.

Perhaps “closure” and “flash”? Flash is quick light — not opposite of closure.

Wait — “blink” is for stare — that’s good.

Another approach: maybe “dullness” ↔ “flash” is correct.

“Cleanliness” ↔ “dust” — yes.

“Doesn’t” ↔ “does” — yes.

“Comfort” ↔ “pain” — yes.

“Stare” ↔ “blink” — yes.

“Tiny” ↔ “grand” — yes.

That leaves “part” and “closure” with “cross” and “slot”.

Now, “closure” — if we think of “emotional closure”, opposite is “open wound” or “ongoing issue” — not helpful.

In mechanical terms, closure = closing mechanism, opposite = opening — “slot” is an opening → so closure ↔ slot? Possible.

Then “part” ↔ “cross”?

“Part” can mean to move apart, “cross” can mean to move across and meet — so they are somewhat opposite actions.

For example: “They parted ways” vs “They crossed paths” — yes! That’s a common phrase.

So:

- part (separate) ↔ cross (meet/intersect) → B. cross

- closure (closing) ↔ slot (opening) → H. slot

Yes! That makes sense in context.

So final mapping:

1. tiny → A. grand
2. part → B. cross
3. doesn't → D. does
4. closure → H. slot
5. cleanliness → C. dust
6. stare → E. blink
7. dullness → G. flash
8. comfort → F. pain

All choices used exactly once.

Final Answer:
1. A
2. B
3. D
4. H
5. C
6. E
7. G
8. F
