Question 15

AMALGAMATE

Solution

The word “amalgamate” means to combine or unite to form one organization or structure. Therefore, the words that are opposite in meaning to “amalgamate” would be:

a) Dissociate: Disconnect or separate (used especially in abstract contexts). b) Unravel: Undo (twisted, knitted, or woven threads). c) Untangle: Free from a tangled or knotted state.

The word that does not fit in this context is:

d) Seethe: (of a person) be filled with intense but unexpressed anger.

Therefore, “seethe” is the most appropriate choice here as it is not the correct antonym of “amalgamate”. It does not convey the meaning of separation or disconnection. Instead, it relates to a state of intense but unexpressed anger.
