Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct word that mostly fits the definition of a strong dislike between two persons is: Antipathy
Key Points
- Antipathy refers to a deep-seated feeling of dislike, hostility, or aversion towards someone or something. It implies a strong and enduring dislike or opposition. When there is antipathy between two persons, it indicates a strong animosity or hostility between them.
- Option 1, Aversion, also conveys a sense of dislike or avoidance, but it may not necessarily imply a strong and enduring hostility as antipathy does.
- Option 3, Apathy, refers to a lack of interest, enthusiasm, or concern and does not capture the meaning of strong dislike between two persons.
- Option 4, Despite, is a preposition that means in spite of or regardless of, and it does not convey the sense of strong dislike between two persons.
- Therefore, the correct option is: Antipathy
