The antonym of 'adversity' is :
Options:
- discord
- prosperity
- scarcity
- misery
Right Answer: prosperity
An antonym is a word opposite in meaning. The noun 'adversity' means a state of hardship, misfortune or difficulty in life, as in the proverb that a friend in need is a friend indeed during adversity. Its natural opposite is 'prosperity', which denotes success, wealth and good fortune. The remaining options are close in sense to adversity rather than opposite to it: 'discord' means disagreement, 'scarcity' means shortage, and 'misery' means great distress. Hence the correct antonym of adversity is prosperity.This question is part of English Grammar - Synonyms and Antonyms, which has 7 practice questions with answers.
