Introduction to the question
The antonym section of GAT test by NTS requires you to choose a word from a set of five choices which is exactly opposite in meaning to the word in question. Antonyms are primarily vocabulary based questions but they also test your ability to know the secondary meanings or lesser known meaning of words.
Some tips to answer antonym questions on GAT
On these questions, if you know the meaning of the word, then you can immediately answer the question correctly without spending much time.
However in many cases, a synonym (word similar in meaning) of the word in question is intentionally added to the answer choices to trip you off. Be careful as it is a very common mistake made by many GAT students to chose the synonym.
In case you do not know the meaning of the word on the GAT antonym questions, try to breakdown the word and infer its meaning. In such a case, your knowledge of prefixes, suffixes and roots can help you greatly.
Another way to work around questions in which you do not know the meaning of the word is to see if the word has either a positive or negative meaning. For example, if the word is negative in connotation, then you should look for a word with a positive connotation. Again you will have to have the knowledge of prefixes and roots to be able to answer such questions.
