Zorluk: KolayAntonyms and Words Opposite in Meaning

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

Cevap:Although the antique glass appeared FRAGILE, rigorous laboratory testing proved that the structure was remarkably 【durable】.

Cevap

durable (or sturdy / strong / robust)
The sentence relies on the contrast conjunction 'Although' to oppose the initial perception of the glass with its actual tested quality. Since 'fragile' means easily damaged or delicate, the correct word to fill the blank must mean long-lasting and resistant to damage, such as 'durable' or 'sturdy'.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the sentence structure and target word meaning.
The word 'FRAGILE' means easily broken, delicate, or flimsy. The conjunction 'Although' indicates a contrast between the outward appearance and the actual testing outcome.
Understanding the contrast context reveals that the missing word must express the quality opposite to being easily broken.
2
Identify the word opposite in meaning (antonym) to 'FRAGILE'.
'Durable' (or 'sturdy' / 'robust') means able to withstand wear, pressure, or damage.
'Durable' is the direct contextual antonym of 'fragile'.
