Antonyms

Fabulous means extraordinarily good, impressive, or luxurious - typically associated with wealth and richness. 'Poor' is the direct antonym as it represents the opposite economic condition. 'Rich' and 'luxury' are actually synonyms or related concepts, not antonyms. 'Prudence' is unrelated (it means wisdom in judgment).

Remuneration means payment or compensation for work, which is the opposite of punishment. The other options (chastisement, punition, penalty) are all synonyms or related to punishment.

Infraction means a violation or breaking of rules, which is the opposite of obedience (compliance with rules). Deference, observance, and acquiescence all mean complying or showing respect.

Restraint means holding back or confinement, which is the opposite of liberation (freedom). Manumission, acquittal, and quitclaim all relate to freeing or releasing something.

Prejudice means preconceived opinion or bias without proper grounds, which is the opposite of justice (fairness and impartiality). Equity, impartiality, and fairness are all synonyms of justice.

Countermand means to revoke or cancel an order, which is the opposite of commission (giving authority or an order). Procuration, ordination, and charge all relate to giving authority or commands.

Voluble means talkative or excessively verbose, using many words. The correct antonyms are taciturn (reserved, uncommunicative) and untalkative. Chatty and garrulous are actually synonyms, not antonyms, so they're incorrect choices.

To retrench means to cut down, reduce, or economize (often used for cutting expenses or workforce). The antonym would be to increase, expand, or augment. Among the options, 'advocate' means to support, 'infringe' means to violate, 'villify' means to slander, and 'augment' means to increase or make larger - making it the correct antonym.

Loquacious means talkative or fond of talking. Option B (Taciturn) is its correct antonym, meaning reserved or silent. Nimble means quick, Trepid is not a standard word, and Platitude is a trite remark.

Garrulous means excessively talkative, especially on trivial matters. Reticent means not revealing one's thoughts or feelings readily, making it the direct antonym. Loquacious and gregarious are synonyms or related traits.

Lubricious can mean slippery, but in a behavioral context, it means lewd or wanton. Therefore, noble serves as a strong antonym. Vicious and lewd are closer to synonyms or unrelated, and tidy does not address the moral or physical connotations.

Indefatigable means persisting tirelessly. Irresolute means showing or feeling hesitancy or uncertainty, effectively serving as an antonym regarding persistence and determination. Dogged and inexhaustible are synonyms, while pellucid means clear.
