Correct option is D
The word "Last" typically means final in a sequence. Its correct antonym is "First", which means the beginning or initial position in a sequence. While "End" and "Finish" are synonyms of "Last", only "First" conveys the opposite meaning.
Explanation of Each Option:
(a) End
- This is a synonym of "Last", not its opposite. Both imply finality.
(b) Grow
- Unrelated to the meaning of "Last". "Grow" refers to increase or development.
(c) Diminish
- Refers to reduction or decrease, which does not contrast with "Last".
(d) First
- Correct antonym of "Last", especially when referring to order or position.
