The correct answer is

professional

The correct answer is professional.

Antonyms are words with opposite meanings (e.g., hot and cold, up and down, happy and sad). Synonyms, on the other hand, are words with similar meanings (e.g., happy and joyful, big and large). Knowing both antonyms and synonyms helps in expressing ideas more precisely and enhancing comprehension. In the context of activities or skills, the amateur/professional distinction is very common across various fields like sports, arts, crafts, and science.
