EnglishAntonyms
- Aconferred
- Bwithdrawn
- Cimparted
- Dimbibed
Explanation
'Bestowed' means conferred or given; its opposite is 'withdrawn' — option B. 'Conferred' and 'imparted' are synonyms; 'imbibed' is unrelated. Note: the stored source key marked A, but the official reused-paper key and independent solution keys confirm B, so the key is corrected here.
