Zorluk: OrtaAntonyms and Words Opposite in Meaning

Complete the sentence below by providing the word opposite in meaning to the capitalized word.

Cevap:While the initial symptoms of the viral infection were TRANSIENT, the neurological damage caused by the disease turned out to be 【permanent】.

Cevap

permanent (or enduring / lasting / perpetual)
The target word 'TRANSIENT' means fleeting, short-lived, or temporary. The introductory conjunction 'While' establishes a contrast between the short-lived nature of the initial symptoms and the long-lasting nature of the neurological damage. Therefore, the word opposite in meaning to 'TRANSIENT' is 'permanent' (or 'enduring' / 'lasting').

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the meaning of the target word in context.
The word 'TRANSIENT' in this sentence context means temporary, fleeting, or lasting for only a short period.

2
Determine the exact word opposite in meaning that completes the contrast.
The contrast established by the conjunction 'While' requires a word indicating long duration or permanence, such as 'permanent'.
