EnglishAntonyms
- ADeputed
- BResumed
- CCeased
- DConceal
Explanation
Discontinued means stopped or brought to an end, and resumed means started again after stopping, which is its direct opposite. Ceased is a synonym of discontinued, not an antonym. Deputed and conceal are unrelated distractors involving delegation and hiding. The stop-versus-restart contrast makes resumed the antonym.
