The word "invaluable" means extremely valuable, priceless, or of great worth. It implies that something is so valuable that its true worth cannot be estimated or measured. In other words, it is something that is beyond calculation in terms of its importance or benefit. The opposite of invaluable, in this context, is worthless. This implies that the contributions being discussed are not valuable or important.

A
strut
B
amble
C
trudge
D
ramble
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The underlined word in the sentence is "march." To find the correct antonym, let's analyse the options:
Strut – To walk in a proud or stiff manner (Not an antonym).
Amble – To walk at a slow, relaxed pace (Possible antonym).
Trudge – To walk slowly with heavy steps, often due to exhaustion (Not an antonym).
Ramble – To walk aimlessly without direction (Possible antonym).
Since "march" means to walk in a steady, rhythmic, and purposeful manner, the best antonym is "amble" (B), which means to walk slowly and without urgency.
