Choose the correct antonym of the word - WORSEN (OPPOSITE)

Answer: relieve — cause (pain, distress, or difficulty) to become less severe or serious. This is the opposite of worsen because it reduces severity rather than increasing it.

• Why this is correct: 'relieve' means to lessen or alleviate a problem, which directly contrasts with 'worsen' (to make more severe).

• Why the other choices are incorrect:

• complicate — means to make something more complex; not an antonym of worsen.

• intensify — means to make stronger or more intense; it increases severity and is similar to worsen.

• aggravate — means to make worse; it is a synonym of worsen, not an antonym.
