Which word is the opposite or reverse of something else?

• A. Inverse
• B. Cross-section
• C. Extrusion
• D. Mechanism

Answer: (A)

This item tests understanding of words that express opposite or reverse. The best fit is inverse because it directly means something that is opposite to or the reverse of something else, and it’s used in contexts where one thing undoes or counteracts another. The other terms describe different ideas: a cross-section is a view created by cutting through an object to reveal its interior, extrusion is the process of forcing material through a die to form a shape, and a mechanism refers to the system or parts that enable a device to work. Since none of those convey the sense of opposite or reversal, the word that does is inverse.
