Question

    Identify the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

    Expand
    A Extend Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Inflate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Prolong Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Contract Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Expand means to increase in size, volume, or scope.
    The opposite of that is contract, which means to shrink or become smaller.
    Extend, inflate, and prolong are all similar in meaning to "expand" and therefore are not antonyms.
