in the case of verbal reasoning, it is about the ability to reason
with verbal content, establishing principles among them
classification, ordering, relationship, and meanings.
Unlike what one might assume, verbal reasoning is
an intellectual capacity that is often underdeveloped by the
majority of the people. At the school level, for example, subjects
language skills focus on objectives such as spelling or
the grammar, but do not promote the learning of the methods of
necessary expression for students to be able to make use
more complete of the language.

the opposite. They must belong, just like synonyms, to the same
category grammatical By example antonyms
of joy: sadness, depression, melancholy...; antonyms
bigsmallboy.
There are at least three classes of antonyms:

Gradual: The two words oppose each other gradually; there is

other words that mean the same with different degrees.
Examples: blackandwhite (there is gray) cold y hot
(tempered, frigid, icy, lukewarm...)

Complementary: The meaning of one eliminates that of the other,

incompatible with each other. Example: alive and dead (one cannot be both)
alive and dead at the same time). That is, the assertion of one implies the
negation of the other. EX: If something is legal, it cannot be illegal.
Reciprocal: they design a relationship from the point of view
opposite, one cannot exist without the other.
Example: buy and sell (for someone to sell something another)
you have to buy it; if one doesn't buy, the other doesn't sell, but I don't know
Can you buy something if no one is selling it?

example:

1.-MERITORIOUS
worthy
praiseworthy
employee
blameworthy
commercial
In this case, the correct answer would be the word
"censurable" since its meaning is completely opposite to that of
the word meritorious.
