Question and options
Choose the word that is opposite of the key word.
Distract
- Calm
- Attract
- Contract
- Protract
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - Attract
To distract is to draw attention away from something; to attract is to draw attention towards it, so 'attract' is the opposite. 'Calm' is not the reverse of drawing attention away, and 'contract' and 'protract' only share the ending '-tract'.
