Question

The opposite of ancestor is - * O O Cousin O Descendant o Distant Heir O​

Answer 1

Answer:

Antonyms are words that have contrasting, or opposite, meanings.

Choice A is correct. Ancestor means 'from whom one has descended' the opposite being descendant meaning 'from a particular ancestor’. For example: Humans are said to be the descendants of apes. Choice B means 'predecessor. Choice C means ‘grandparent’. Choice D means 'the parents of one's father or mother'. Choice B, C and D are wrong.
