EnglishAntonyms
- Asubsequent
- Bconsequent
- Cretrospective
- Den suite
Explanation
'Ensuing' means following or subsequent (coming after) — its opposite is 'retrospective' (looking back at the past). 'Subsequent' and 'successive' are synonyms of ensuing, and 'ensconced' (settled comfortably) is unrelated. Hence (C) retrospective is correct.
