Correct Answer: Plunge


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Escalate means to increase or intensify, especially in a rapid or significant way. Its antonym should represent a decrease or a downward movement. Plunge means to fall or drop steeply, fitting as an opposite to escalate, which involves an upward or increasing trend.

The meanings of other words are as follows:

  • Pretend: This means to act as if something is true when it is not; to simulate or feign.
  • Attack: This means to act against someone or something aggressively; to attempt to harm or undermine.
  • Employ: This means to give someone a job or to use something for a particular purpose.
Therefore, the right answer is plunge.
