The warring communities were coerced into negotiating a settlement?
A
driven
B
compelled
C
persuaded
D
pressured
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
To coerce means to force or compel someone to do something against their will, typically using threats, intimidation, or pressure. The opposite of coercing someone into doing something is convincing or influencing them willingly, without the use of force.
Now, let's look at the options:
A. driven - This is not a direct opposite, and it doesn't convey the idea of voluntary action.
B. compelled - This is a synonym for "coerced" and not the opposite.
C. persuaded - This is the correct choice as it means convincing someone through reasoning or argument, which is the opposite of forcing.
D. pressured - This is similar to "coerced" and does not represent the opposite.
Therefore, the most appropriate word opposite in meaning to "coerced" is C. persuaded.
