An infant left alone will feel ____ but the mother’s presence will bring a sense of comfort.

A uncomfort Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B ease Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C solace Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D discomfort Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

The opposite of ‘comfort’ is ‘discomfort’. Hence, option d is correct. ‘Uncomfort’ is not a standard English word. Solace also means ‘comfort’ especially given in a sad situation. “Ease’ can be related to 'comfort’ as ‘ease’ refers to a seamless flow of a process or a situation without any pain or suffering.
