Question
I think it would be a stunningly bad idea to give in to
the threats of the anarchist tendency. In the question given below, a phrasal verb is given in bold. From the options, pick out the phrasal verb that is a near antonym to the phrasal verb that is emboldened in the question, such that, the use of the phrasal verb from the options makes the sentence a complete opposite of the sentence given.Solution
The phrasal verb ‘give in’ means ‘to finally agree to what someone wants, after refusing for a period of time’. The phrasal verb ‘hold out’ means ‘to continue to defend yourself against an enemy or attack without being defeated’. Back down- withdraw a claim or assertion in the face of opposition. Give up- to stop trying to guess. Give out- to last no longer, or to work no longer. Back up- to gradually collect or gather in one place, esp. traffic or a liquid. I think it would be a stunningly bad idea to hold out to the threats of the anarchist tendency.
