Sumup

Please summarize steps

Choice-A

Choice A is incorrect because To halt means to stop completely. While halting something does imply a cessation, it doesn’t directly oppose curtailing, which means to reduce or lessen. Therefore, this is not a suitable antonym.

Wrong halt

Choice-B

Choice B is incorrect because To limit means to set boundaries or restrict something. This is similar to curtailing, as both involve reducing something. Thus, "limit" is not an antonym but rather a synonym.

Wrong Limit

Choice-C

Choice C is correct because To raise means to increase or elevate. This term directly opposes curtail, which involves reducing or cutting back. Therefore, "raise" is a strong candidate for an antonym.

Correct raise

Choice-D

Choice D is incorrect because To diminish means to make smaller or less. Like "limit," this term is synonymous with curtail, as both involve a reduction. Thus, "diminish" is not an antonym.

Wrong diminish
