Correct Answer: (C) insert Antonym questions test precise vocabulary knowledge — an essential skill for NTRCA English sections. Meaning of 'delete': — Delete (verb): to remove, erase or obliterate something (text, file, data, content) — Example: "Please delete the incorrect information from the form." — Synonyms of delete: erase, remove, obliterate, expunge, cancel, eliminate Why 'insert' is the antonym: — Insert (verb): to put something INTO a place; to add content — Delete = remove content; Insert = add content — They are exact opposites in the context of editing, writing, and computing — Example: "Insert the missing paragraph into the document." Why other options are wrong: ✗ start: opposite of 'stop' or 'end', not 'delete' ✗ delay: opposite of 'hurry' or 'rush', not 'delete' ✗ hide: means to conceal — the content is still there but not visible; 'delete' removes it entirely Context in computing: — Delete key on keyboard = removes text/data — Insert key = switches between insert and overwrite mode Source: Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary; Merriam-Webster; Past NTRCA Question Bank.
