The correct answer is D. Aid.
A hindrance refers to something that obstructs, delays or prevents progress. It acts as a barrier to achieving a goal. The opposite of hindrance is aid, which means help or support that facilitates progress and removes obstacles.
For example:
- The lack of proper resources was a hindrance to their research.
- Financial aid helped the students complete their education without difficulty.
Antonyms are words that have opposite meanings. They help in enhancing vocabulary and comprehension skills, making language more expressive and precise. In this case:
Hindrance (obstacle, difficulty, barrier)
Aid (help, assistance, support)
Why Not the Other Options?
A. Agreement – The opposite of disagreement, not directly related to hindrance.
B. Cooperation – Means working together, which may reduce hindrance but is not its direct opposite.
C. Persuasion – The act of convincing someone, which is unrelated to the idea of hindrance.
