Diminish

This question was previously asked in
SSC Selection Post 2021 Question Paper (09-Feb-2022) (Shift-1)
The correct answer is

Extend

The correct answer is Extend.

For example, "They plan to extend the park's boundaries" or "Please extend the deadline." This action of making something larger or longer is the direct opposite of making it smaller or less. Determining the Correct Antonym Based on the analysis, ' Abate ', ' Recede ', and ' Curtail ' all relate to the concept of reduction or becoming less. In contrast, ' Extend ' describes the act of increasing or making something larger. Therefore, ' Extend ' is the most fitting antonym for the word ' Diminish '.
