  • obfuscateclarify
  • loquaciousreticent
  • supercilioushumble

Cevap

The correct matches pair 'dilatory' with 'prompt', 'obfuscate' with 'clarify', 'loquacious' with 'reticent', and 'supercilious' with 'humble'.
Each target word is accurately paired with its semantic opposite: 'dilatory' (slow/delaying) pairs with 'prompt' (quick/punctual); 'obfuscate' (make obscure) pairs with 'clarify' (make clear); 'loquacious' (talkative) pairs with 'reticent' (reserved); and 'supercilious' (haughty) pairs with 'humble' (modest).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Define the precise meaning of each target vocabulary word in the left column.
'Dilatory' means slow or tending to delay; 'obfuscate' means to confuse or make obscure; 'loquacious' means overly talkative; 'supercilious' means arrogant or condescending.
Establishing the exact definition of each word is necessary before searching for its opposite.
2
Identify the direct antonym for each term among the options in the right column.
Tending to delay ('dilatory') is opposed by being 'prompt'; making obscure ('obfuscate') is opposed by 'clarify'; talkative ('loquacious') is opposed by 'reticent'; arrogant ('supercilious') is opposed by 'humble'.
Matching each word to its semantic opposite completes the correct mapping.
