Answer 1

The antonym for the word 'disable' is 'enable' (option 2).

• Antonyms are words that convey the opposite meaning of the given word. For example, the antonym of 'black' is 'white', 'dark' is 'light', 'sleep' is 'awake', etc.
• The word 'disable' means the inability to do something. So, its opposite word should convey the ability to do something. So, it is 'enable' because other words in the options mean something very different. For example, obtain means to get something, prevent means to stop, save means to protect.
• The use of 'disable' and 'enable' can be better understood from the following sentence: this function has been disabled in your phone and this function has been enabled.
