Okonkwo's lethal right foot the magic in the football match?

Analyze the question: This is an antonym question. The underlined word is "lethal", and we need the option closest to the opposite of it. (The sentence looks slightly garbled, but the underlined word is clear.)

Explain the concept: "Lethal" is an adjective meaning able to cause death, deadly, or extremely dangerous. Its opposite is something that cannot cause harm.

Work through the options:

• A. weak means lacking strength. A weak thing can still be dangerous, and weakness is not the direct opposite of deadliness.
• B. wicked means evil. This is closer in meaning to "harmful" than to the opposite of "lethal".
• C. fat has no connection to the meaning of "lethal".
• D. harmless means unable to cause harm, which is the direct opposite of "lethal".

Answer: D. harmless.

Tip: In antonym questions, first define the underlined word in your own words. Then look for the option that negates that meaning. Here "lethal" means able to kill or harm, so "harmless" is the best match. Also watch for words like "wicked" that are related in feeling but are not true opposites.
