Question

Which word is an ANTONYM for the word tarnish?

Sylvia used a special product to remove the tarnish from the candlestick.

Answer 1

The ANTONYM for the word 'tarnish,' as seen in the sentence, among the four options is CLEANLINESS because tarnish is the oxidation of metal surfaces caused by exposure to air, and thus used as dirt in the candlesticks in the sentence, so the word cleanliness comes to be the opposite as keeping free of superficial imperfections in the candlestick.
