In the question below choose the option opposite in meaning to the word underlined:
The deafening noise of the two jet planes which flew across our compound yesterday made people fear that an assault on the country might be imminent
The word "imminent" means something that is about to happen very soon or likely to occur at any moment. We are asked to find the opposite in meaning — that is, a word meaning not happening soon or unlikely to happen. "Remote" (when used for time or likelihood) means unlikely to happen soon or far off, which is opposite to "imminent.
