Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Kind.

Key points:

Meaning of "brutal": cruel, harsh, violent, or lacking compassion.

Example: "The account described a brutal attack."

Why "Kind" is the antonym:

  • "Kind" means considerate, compassionate, and helpful, which directly contrasts with being cruel or harsh.

Why the other choices are not correct:

  • "Damage": a noun meaning harm or injury; it is not an opposite of the adjective "brutal."

  • "Abandon": means to leave or give up; it does not express the opposite of being cruel or harsh.

  • "Attack": an act of assault; this does not serve as an antonym for "brutal."

Additional note: Synonyms of "brutal" include barbarous, harsh, and ruthless; these reinforce why a compassionate adjective like "Kind" is the appropriate antonym.
