Choose the option opposite in meaning to the underlined word(s).
A conservative estimate put the number of missing persons at forty?
The word conservative in the phrase “a conservative estimate” means a cautious or deliberately low estimate, usually given to avoid exaggeration. So a conservative estimate is not exact; it is carefully understated. The opposite meaning would therefore be an accurate estimate, meaning a precise or exact calculation.
