Attempted by 51 students.
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.
