Question

Select the most appropriate antonym of the word: Connive

The correct answer is

Oppose

The word 'connive' means to secretly cooperate with or conspire in a wrongdoing, or to tacitly allow it.

An antonym must express the opposite idea, that is, to resist or work against something rather than quietly support it.

'Oppose' means to resist or act against, which is directly opposite to conniving at something.

'Support' and 'motivate' both suggest helping or encouraging, closer in sense to conniving, and 'reject' means to refuse to accept, not to actively resist a plan.

Hence, the most appropriate antonym of 'connive' is Oppose.
