Choose the word which is opposite in meaning: “CONFESS”
(A) Assert
(B) Deny
(C) Contest
(D) Contend
“Confess” means you admit something, usually a mistake or a truth. So, the opposite would be not admitting it—basically, denying it. Out of the options, “deny” nails it. When you deny something, you're refusing to accept or admit it. The others—“assert,” “contest,” and “contend”—are more about making a point or arguing, not really about owning up or refusing to own up to something.
