From the list of words lettered A to D, choose the one that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentence.
The commander said that raw recruits could not dislodge the enemies: he needed______ men.
The sentence contrasts raw recruits (inexperienced soldiers) with the type of men the commander actually needs. “Seasoned men” means experienced, skilled and well-trained soldiers, which is the best opposite of raw recruits.
So the completed sentence becomes:
The commander said that raw recruits could not dislodge the enemies; he needed seasoned men.
