Which is the closest antonym for the word prolonged?

English

zalisa [80]2 years ago

Answer:

Brief.

Explanation:

Prolonged means longer than usual or extended. So, going based on this..

  • It can't be torn since that means something that is ripped to pieces or shreds. Something being longer than usual would have little to no (flipped) connection with that.
  • Meek means shy.. Why would something being long have an opposite meaning submissive?
  • Slack can mean many things, but for this let's just say it means that something's loose. Well, loose and long mean nothing similar, unless we're admitting that this has a lot of slack (no pun intended) and is hanging down pretty low, making it long. Unfortunately, it doesn't, so we'll have to scratch that out.
  • Now, brief is out perfect match; it means short, and what is the opposite of short? Long! So, we have our answer:

           The closest antonym for the word prolonged is brief.

Hope this helped! : D

Why did clarisse McClellan die in the book Fahrenheit 451???
timurjin [86]
<span> Clarisse dies (i think). It could be that, in this world, a girl like Clarisse just can’t exist. She’s incompatible with her surroundings, so she’s not allowed to live. I don’t know all the details of her demise, or is the confusion reconciled by the end of the novel. But I can’t help but think of Clarisse when Granger discusses the thumbprint on his mind left by his grandfather. Even after her disappearance/death, Clarisse continues to affect Montag. She exists because she changed his mind, where as someone like Mildred hardly existed at all.</span>
