# PTE ASQ #7: Antonyms of Age-Related Adjectives

Answer Short Question #7 - Level 1 - Feeds Listening

> You will hear a question. Please give a simple and short answer. Often just one or a few words is enough.

## Answer

Old

## Explanation

The correct answer is old. An antonym is a word that has the opposite meaning to another word. In the context of age, old is the direct opposite of young.

What to watch: The key word is "opposite." The opposite of "young" is "old." One word is enough. Avoid "elderly" or "adult," which are related but are not the direct opposite.

## Hints

- Think about the stages of a person's life.
- If someone is not young, they have lived for many years.

## Transcript

What is the opposite of "young"?
