Choose the most appropriate antonym for the underlined word in the given sentence: The war was followed by a long period of prosperity.

Question

Accepted Answer

The word 'prosperity' means a state of being successful or wealthy. Its antonym would be a word that means the opposite, such as 'failure', which indicates lack of success or prosperity. 'Affluence' is a synonym, while 'security' and 'secure' are unrelated to the meaning of prosperity. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Failure'.
