What is the antonym of mitigate?
Correct Answer:
Exacerbate
Explanation:
Mitigate means to make something less severe or less serious. The opposite action is to make it worse, to increase harm or intensity. Exacerbate captures that idea precisely: it means to worsen a problem or situation. That’s why it’s the best choice here. The other options describe reducing or easing the problem rather than making it worse. Alleviate, ease, and lessen all align with decreasing severity, so they are not antonyms of SAMPLEmitigate. For example, you might alleviate pain by taking medicine, but that doesn’t convey making the problem worse.
