Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Answer: Everlastingly

Why:

"Awhile" means "for a short time" or "for a brief period." An antonym is a word that means the opposite, such as "for a long time" or "forever."

"Everlastingly" means "forever" or "for a very long time," so it is the correct antonym of "awhile."

  • "For a short period" is a synonym of "awhile," not an antonym.

  • "Bit" implies a small amount or short time, so it is also a synonym.

  • "Little" can mean a small amount or short duration and therefore is not the opposite.
