Choose the word from the options given below that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the given word: Amalgamate
- Amerge
- Bsplit
- Ccollect
- separate
Explanation
'Amalgamate' means to combine or unite into a single whole. Its most direct opposite is 'separate' — to keep or set apart. 'Merge' and 'collect' are near-synonyms of amalgamate, not opposites, and 'split' is a weaker/more partial opposite than the direct antonym 'separate'.
