Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: Advance
Explanation: “Withdraw” means to move back, retreat, or remove oneself from a place or situation. “Advance” means to move forward or proceed. Because these words express opposite directions of movement, “Advance” is the correct antonym of “Withdraw.”
Why “Advance” is correct: it directly denotes moving forward, which is the opposite of moving back or retreating.
Why “Dislike” is incorrect: it refers to preference or feeling, not movement or direction.
Why “Need” is incorrect: it expresses necessity or requirement, unrelated to the concept of moving forward or backward.
Why “want” is incorrect: it denotes desire or wish, which is not an antonym of withdrawing.
