Launched by the federations and foundations, Group’s brands find local expression thorough the promotion of social solidarity and culture.

Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word(s) OPPOSITE in meaning to the underlined word(s) in each of the following questions.

Launched by the federations and foundations, Group’s brands find local expression thorough the promotion of social solidarity and culture.

• A. teamwork
• B. division
• C. unity
• D. identity

The underlined word is “social solidarity,” which implies unity, shared responsibility, and a sense of community. Therefore, we need to find a word that opposes these concepts.

Here’s the analysis of each option:

• A. teamwork: While teamwork involves cooperation, it’s not the direct opposite of social solidarity. It focuses on achieving a goal, while social solidarity emphasizes a broader sense of connection and shared values.
• B. division: This is the most direct opposite of social solidarity. It refers to separation, disagreement, and a lack of unity.
• C. unity: This is a synonym for social solidarity, so it’s the wrong answer.
• D. identity: While identity can be linked to social solidarity through shared cultural values, it’s not the direct opposite. It focuses on individual or group distinctiveness, not the interconnectedness emphasized by social solidarity.

Therefore, the answer is B. division.

Remember, the opposite of a word can have multiple nuances, so it’s important to consider the specific context and the closest meaning in each case.
