Select the ANTONYM of the given word. COINCIDE

Concept

An antonym is a word whose meaning is opposite to that of a given word. To find an antonym, first fix the core sense of the target word, then choose the option that expresses the reverse of that sense — not merely a word that is unrelated or that begins with the same prefix.

“Coincide” means to agree, to correspond exactly, or to be in harmony (two opinions, accounts, or events that match each other).

Application

The reverse of “to agree / correspond” is “to differ in opinion / fail to correspond.” Among the choices, “Disagree” carries exactly this opposite sense — to hold a contrary view or to be at variance — so it is the true antonym of coincide.

Contrast

• “Disappear” means to cease to be visible; it is the opposite of “appear,” not of “agree,” so it does not reverse the sense of coincide.

• “Disappoint” means to fail to fulfil someone’s hopes; it concerns expectation, not agreement or correspondence.

• “Disbelieve” means to refuse to accept as true; it is the opposite of “believe,” and has nothing to do with two things matching.

The “dis-” prefix on every choice is a deliberate trap: a shared prefix does not make a word an opposite. Only the option that reverses the meaning of “agree / correspond” qualifies.
