Choose from the options opposite in meaning to the word underlined.
The teacher announced that the class would be making a fleeting visit to the zoo.
A
routine
B
brief
C
long
D
guided
Verified Correct Answer: C.
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The word "fleeting" means lasting for a very short time, brief, or transient. The opposite of "fleeting" is something that is long-lasting or enduring. Therefore, option C, "long," is the opposite in meaning. It indicates a visit that is not brief but rather of an extended or prolonged duration. Options A and D are not opposite in meaning, and option B is a synonym for "fleeting."
