Question

Choose the word opposite in meaning to the given word:

Height

• A. Length
• B. Width
• C. Depth
• D. Breadth

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The correct option is B Depth

Option B is correct because ‘depth’ means ‘distance from top to surface’. ‘Height’ means ‘measurement from base to top’. Thus, ‘depth’ is appropriate opposite word to the given word.
Option A is incorrect because ‘length’ means ‘measurement from end to end’. Thus, it is not the appropriate opposite word to the given word.
Option C is incorrect because ‘width’ means ‘measurement from side to side’. Thus, it is not the appropriate opposite word to the given word.
Option D is incorrect because ‘breadth’ means ‘distance from side to side’. Thus, it is not the appropriate opposite word to the given word.
